Actually, it does. Here, /var/run/nm-dhclient-wlan0.conf contains: # Created by NetworkManager send host-name "philomeena"; # added by NetworkManager option rfc3442-classless-static-routes code 121 = array of unsigned integer 8; option ms-classless-static-routes code 249 = array of unsigned integer 8; option wpad code 252 = string; also request rfc3442-classless-static-routes; also request ms-classless-static-routes; also request wpad; also request ntp-servers; --- "philomeena" being the hostname of my laptop.
