With 1.6.0 I have a working semi-working DHCP with NM and nm-applet. But there is another problem with DHCP in new NM. It reports a duplicated domain:
IP4.DOMAIN[1]: example.comexample.com DHCP4.OPTION[20]: domain_name = example.comexample.com This also goes into resolv.conf as: search example.comexample.com And predictably messes with dispatcher scripts that rely on domain names.
