Ok, thank you for the information.

I agree that a fallback to be compatible with the older dhclient would
be the best option.

Anyway, thank you very much for maintaining NM, i realy hope that NM
0.8.1 and Modemmanager 0.4, once they are released, will make it into
Squeeze because with this combination i can finally stop using
commandline tools to create a connection via DUN over Bluetooth to get
internet access while underway.
