If DHCP-server is offline for a couple of hours, NetworkManager doesn't auto reconnect

Binary package hint: network-manager

If the DHCP-server is offline for a couple of hours the connection is deactivated (for example, Auto eth0).

NM does no attempts to automatically reconnect nor can you configure it to do so.
