Details

Description:
from "man NetworkManager.conf":
dhcp=dhclient | dhcpcd
This key sets up what DHCP client NetworkManager will use. Presently dhclient and dhcpcd are supported. The client configured here should be available on your system too. If this key is missing, available DHCP clients are looked for in this order: dhclient, dhcpcd.

So NetworkManager is supporting dhcpcd now, and after changing configuration file I was able to get rid of running dhclient at all. So why should we keep dependency on dhclient anymore?

Additional info:
* package version(s)
extra/networkmanager 0.9.8.0-2
Network Management daemon
