The Gentoo initscript is being patched downstream anyway. It
will be easier to maintain it in just one place.
See discussion at bugs.gentoo.org:

This patch makes DHCPv6 support more or less equivalent to that
one of IPv4 DHCP.
(dcbw: fix some formatting, rearrange code so it's less convoluted,
fix up writing hostname to ifcfg files)
For NetworkManager, dhclient is a runtime dependency. Distribution dhclient
configuration is either put directly into /etc or in /etc/dhcp. It is much
safer to check this at runtime than to guess the location from distribution
name.
Additionally, the distribution dhclient configuration files can be overriden
by a configuration file in /etc/NetworkManager.
TODO: Functions get_dhclient_config() and merge_dhclient_config() should
be also used for IPv6.
DHCP lease file names are built by NetworkManager and contain connection UUID
which makes them NM-specific. Their new location belongs to NetworkManager and
doesn't have to be guessed. With no guessing, we don't need distribution-specific
conditionals.
Note: This change may require modifications to the selinux policy. But after all
these files actually belong to NetworkManager as well as the instance of dhclient
that uses them.
Use --enable-doc and --enable-tests instead of --with-docs and
--with-tests. This is consistent with other features and with
--enable-gtk-doc option. Support current variants as fallback.
Don't build tests unless --enable-tests is specified.
Shorter forms work as previously. Thus, all of these commands are valid:
nmcli device, nmcli devic, nmcli devi, nmcli dev, nmcli de, nmcli d
nmcli connection, nmcli connectio, ..., nmcli conn, nmcli con, ..., nmcli c
You can now use 'address=' even for IPv6 and it's the encouraged way
to set up a single address manually. For multiple addresses,
'address0=', 'address1=', etc, should be preferred.
Example:
address=10.0.0.15/24/10.0.0.1
address0=192.168.0.1/24
address1=10.0.0.16/32
Example (backward compatibility):
addresses=10.0.0.15/24/10.0.0.1
addresses0=192.168.0.1/24
addresses1=10.0.0.16/32
IPv4 and IPv6 address configuration is now handled together and supports
the following syntax (slashes can be replaced with semicolons):
address/plen
address/plen,gateway
IPv4 and IPv6 route configuration is also handled uniformly and supports
the following syntax:
address/plen (for device routes)
address/plen,gateway (for gateway routes)
address/plen,gateway,metric (for gateway routes with metric)
For compatibility reasons, slash (/), comma (,) and semicolon (;) are
considered equal by the parser. The /plen part is optional for both
addresses and routes for compatibility reasons.
Leaving out the prefix length is not considered a good idea. IPv6
addresses default to 64 and IPv4 now defaults to 24 which is the closest
possible IPv4 counterpart. Routes default to single addresses.
Example 1:
[ipv4]
method=manual
addresses1=192.168.56.5/24,192.168.56.1
addresses2=192.168.57.5/24
routes1=4.5.6.0/24
routes2=1.2.3.0/24,4.5.6.7
routes3=7.8.9.0/24,4.5.6.7,99
[ipv6]
method=manual
addresses1=2001:db8:a🅱️:3/64,2001:db8:a🅱️:1
addresses2=2001:db8:c:d::3/64
routes1=2001:db8:e:f::/64,2001:db8:a🅱️:4
Example 2 (equivalent):
[ipv4]
method=manual
addresses1=192.168.56.5;24;192.168.56.1
addresses2=192.168.57.5;24
routes1=4.5.6.0;24
routes2=1.2.3.0;24;4.5.6.7
routes3=7.8.9.0;24;4.5.6.7;99
[ipv6]
method=manual
addresses1=2001:db8:a🅱️:3;64;2001:db8:a🅱️:1
addresses2=2001:db8:c:d::3;64
routes1=2001:db8:e:f::;64;2001:db8:a🅱️:4
For writing, I have arbitrarily chosen one of the formats 'reader'
can parse. Address and prefix length are separated by slash (/),
everything else is separated by comma (,).
addresses1=address/plen,gateway
routes1=address/plen,gateway,metric
Note: The modified 'reader' exposes a bug in the 'writer' and ignores
out badly-formatted routes. This problem is also fixed by this
commit. Keyfile tests now pass.
This reverts commit 2ad6dcf215.
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.PPP is a private interface between
NM and nm-ppp-plugin and we don't want it in the documentation.
New option --with-suspend-resume=[upower|systemd] which defaults
to systemd if you have systemd >= 183 with the inhibit support,
otherwise upower. Allows you to use systemd session tracking
simultaneously with upower for suspend/resume if you don't have
system >= 183.
It is emitted in nm_settings_connection_remove() called by plugins when the
connection was removed.
This prevents the signal from appearing twice on D-Bus.

Use autoconf/automake variables for NetworkManager paths. Use
NetworkManager subdirectory where appropriate.
Files in /var/run (or /run on some distros) are moved into a separate
directory as is usual with other daemons. It makes the filesystem
more readable and file prefixing unnecessary.
/var/run/NetworkManager.pid -> /var/run/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.pid
/var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.pid -> /var/run/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.pid
/var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf -> /var/run/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.conf
The /var/run/NetworkManager directory is created at runtime, if it doesn't
exist.
Note: Path-based security policies like SELinux and AppArmor may need to
be adapted.
When determining the system hostname, /etc/hostname should override
/etc/sysconfig/network, so monitor both files.
When setting the hostname, set it in /etc/hostname, and delete the
/etc/sysconfig/network HOSTNAME entry if present.
