Bug Description
When using a modified dhclient.conf (attached), where the hostname is sent and ntp servers are accepted from the server, network-manager ignores these settings.
-> I've attached the wireshark dump of the dhcp procedure when using network-manager and one using dhlcient from the commandline.
-> They both have different options set.
-> It is impossible to let network manager honor the settings provided for dhclient by dhclient.conf (at least as far as I was able to find out)

Very annoying, as it breaks integrated DHCP/DNS (e.g. dnsmasq) and means a laptop that alternates wired / wireless ends up with different addresses.
I note that NM runs dhclient with -cf pointing to an empty file.
