As mentioned in some earlier report, it appears than NM ignores
/etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and instead looks for
/etc/dhclient-$IFNAME.conf (e.g.  /etc/dhclient-eth0.conf). If this
exists (e.g. as a symlink to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf) then NM uses that
as the -cf parameter.

* It would be nice if NM used the system wide file we all know and love
(even via a 'use system DHCP settings' checkbox;

* It would be nice if these "so simple they need no documentation" did
in fact have some obvious documentation, in order to solve the more
difficult cases with days of googling.
