If the dhcp server does not send an ipv6 lease IP, dhclient ipv6 process tries 
to get that ip during 30 seconds. That causes (i can see that via 
systemd-analyze blame) the startup of the  NetworkManager-wait-online service 
is delayed, delaying the network-online.target
I have services depending of this target and that delay causes some troubles to 
me.

Hi,

when NetworkManager uses dhclient as its DHCP plugin, then the process is 
controlled by NetworkManager. In that case, NetworkManager will always spawn 
the process in the background. That is regardless whether NetworkManager itself 
is in the background or not). Anyway, the way NetworkManager spawns this 
process is of little concern to the user.

In fact, when using NetworkManager you usually would be not concerned with 
dhclient at all. The process is for the most part an implementation detail of 
how NetworkManager does DHCP.

Which problem are you trying to solve?

best,
Thomas
