When dhclient is invoked from NetworkManager, it does not appear that the scripts in /etc/dhcp/dhclient.d are executed. The callout to those scripts is in /sbin/dhclient-script, but NetworkManager substitutes its own /usr/libexec/nm-dhcp-client.action in place of dhclient-script, and the scripts do not get invoked.
How are the functions in the dhclient.d scripts supposed to be preformed now?

This is a question for the network-manager list at: networkmanager-list@gnome.org
I thought we had gotten passed the "network is better than networkmanager" debate but I guess not. NM is so much better for>90% of users but there are always diehards out there. But it is true that good documentation for NM is lacking.
Thanks for the list pointer. I'll try there.
And now I am quite embarrassed because the answer can be found in, of all places, the manpage for NetworkManager. There's not a whole lot of info in that manpage, but it does cover in detail how scripts in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d get executed when an interface changes state, and in particular how data from DHCP options is made available, which is exactly what I need.
