there is no solution there. I want to use dhcpcd instead of dhclient. — abyt23, Dec 07 '16 at 14:40
hi it is not `dhcpd` . It is `dhcpcd` , which is an alternative to `dhclient` — abyt23, Dec 11 '16 at 12:59

In /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf add this line :

dhcp=dhcpcd

and restart NetworkManager.
