- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS loaded on an Intel NUC - Unplug eth0 from network with dhcp server - As expected, dhcp client withdraws its address and a few seconds later, avahi-autoipd will generate a 169 address. All looks good. — I do see the syslog messages from autoipd picking a LL address — the eth0:avahi interface is seen and has the 169 address - Connect eth0 directly to my macbook. It also has a 169 address. - For maybe a minute, the macbook can ping the ubuntu system (using hostname.local or actual ip addr) - Then, the eth0:avahi interface and its LL address goes away -- This seems to follow the syslog message: Jun 11 13:43:54 z4k NetworkManager[700]: <info> (eth0): deactivating device (reason 'carrier-changed') [40] -- There are a bunch of other network manager log messages, all seem to be trying to do somethin to eth0 - If I then "avahi-autoipd --kill eth0" and then restart it, all is good once again... for a little while. - There are no other enabled interfaces (wlan is the only other available and it is disabled) - And I do not think I did anything unusual otherwise — pretty typical install (done last night)
I have spent hours and hours on this... seems pretty basic, so I hope I'm just not doing something really dumb. Any help would be really, really appreaciated!!!! Jeremy
