dhclient.conf ?
I changed ipw3945 driver to iwl3945 on my HP dv2580et notebook and gave NetworkManager another shot.. It works nice for now.. The only problem is that I want to use OpenDNS as my DNS addresses but NetworkManager gets it via DHCP... I searched for it and found out that it's possible to fix the DNS addresses by modifying dhclient.conf which doesn't exist on my system despite:
[04:07] (tunix@penguix ~)$ pacman -Qs dhclient
local/dhcdbd 3.0-1
DHCP D-BUS daemon (dhcdbd) controls dhclient sessions with D-BUS, stores and presents DHCP options
local/dhclient 3.0.6-1
dhclient is standalone client from the dhcp package
Is it normal ? I really am tried of using netcfg each time I login to my session... So I really want to use NetworkManager for my general needs.. It doesn't provide a pppoe interface also i guess... but, any way....

Re: dhclient.conf ?
Could also just setup your session to run netcfg-wireless-auto when you login:
http://projects.archlinux.org/git/?p=ne … ;hb=master
It'll be included in the next netcfg release.
Alternatively, setup 'dumb' detection on boot. Set SCAN="yes" in your profiles and add them all to the NETWORKS=() line. If iwlist doesnt find the network, it'll skip and try the next.

Re: dhclient.conf ?
@iphitus: thanks for the notification but I didn't install netcfg2 package since it's in experimental stage for now.. Since I started using networkmanager with iwlwifi it works fine for me and logs me in during my session startup... So that's exactly what I was looking for.. I also have a dream like using Arch network profiles with NetworkManager.. That would be really great..!
