FWIW:

I created an executable script in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d owned
by a normal user, and it was not executed.

Only after a a "chown root:root" of the script, it was executed. So
apparantly root needs to be owner of the script?

Is this as it should be?

Title:
  NetworkManager does not use dhclient-exit-hooks.d

Status in NetworkManager:
  Invalid
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “network-manager” package in Fedora:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: network-manager

  I am running intrepid i386 and amd64 on a handful of systems. On every
  system, both upgraded and fresh installs, i use a script (first
  attachment) for updating a DNS record through DNSSEC.

  Using /etc/network/interfaces or invoking dhclient directly correctly
  updates the DNS record (second attachment).

  Using network-manager the DNS record update script doesn't seem to run
  (third attachment).

  On a laptop it is inconvenient to constantly reconfigure devices. For
  desktops, a workaround is to have a dhcp entry in
  /etc/network/interfaces for the relevant connection.

  As a side note, the script is designed to work with PPP ip-up.d as
  well. However, I haven't yet found a way to configure network-manager
  to dial up to 3G over a bluetooth connected modem. It may apply here
  similarily though. Wvdial works with the script.
