I had a similar problem with my dhclient on Fedora-13. This is how I
now extract dhclient logs to a dedicated file:

ci -l -t- /etc/rsyslog.conf
cat <<EOF >>/etc/rsyslog.conf
:programname, isequal, "dhclient"  /var/log/dhclient.log
:programname, isequal, "dhclient"  ~
EOF


Obvious alternatives are:
- asking NM *itself* to redirect its logs?
- reducing NM's log level?
