The decision is up to you :)

Nevertheless I want to give you an hypothetical scenario why I would prefer it 
to be set in real_act_stage3_ip_config_start:

As far as I can see nm_device_set_use_dhcp is defined in nm_device.h and could 
therefore be used from some places outside nm_device.cpp. It would be 
possible to call nm_device_set_use_dhcp even if the device is down. 
Afterwards starting a non-dhcp connection on that device would lead to the 
initial problem. Setting it in real_act_stage3_ip_config_start would avoid 
such issues.
