Some additional information: running dhclient directly (stopped the NetworkManager before) with the dhclient.conf works as expected, which is why I'm blaming NM for this problem.
I also decided to check the source files ( https://github.com/NetworkManager/NetworkManager) and found what might be causing the problem: https://github.com/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/blob/master/src/dhcp/nm-dhcp-dhclient-utils.c#L312-L325 the parser is quite bad. it doesn't ignore sections (starting with '{') but it ignores the '}' symbol. Also, if you have an "interface" inside the section, it gets ignored. I understand there are reasons to ignore the "timeout" and "retry" directives because at least the timeout should be controlled by the NM, but where do I set that?
