I don't support dhclient, it's not my software.

You'll have to goto your distro for support with NetworkManager and 
SystemD. I don't use either of these.

One tip though - dhcpcd also ignores /etc/network/interfaces. That's a 
Debian (and derivatives) specific file.

If you are looking for a GUI front end to dhcpcd, or just a simple 
systray icon to let you know the state of the network, enter a PSK to 
connect to a wireless network or setup a static IP address then please 
look at the dhcpcd-ui project which I can help with as it goes hand in 
hand with dhcpcd.
