Thanks for the suggestion, but I still don't know how to proceed.
I assume that the absence of the line above + this line
Dec 31 19:00:29 localhost dhcpcd[1346]:
enp1s0: adding route to 169.254.0.0/16
results in the desktop machine killing the Dhcpcd process :
# PP : 'ioff', remove conn'n
dhcpcd[11404]: sending signal ARLM to pid 997
dhcpcd[11404]: waiting for pid 997 to exit
dhcpcd[997]: received signal ALRM from PID 11404, releasing
dhcpcd[997]: enp5s0: removing interface
dhcpcd[997]: enp5s0: releasing lease of 192.168.1.2
dhcpcd[997]: enp5s0: deleting route to 192.168.1.0/24
dhcpcd[997]: enp5s0: deleting default route via 192.168.1.1
dhcpcd[997]: exited
which then has to be restarted via 'dhcpcd' after replugging the conn'n.
However, even after searching thro' /etc again, Googling etc,
AFAICS there's no difference in config files between the 2 machines.
So how do I "enable IPv4LL' (smile) ?
