NM supports dhcpcd-4.x and better, which in turn supports ZeroConf. NM explicitly disables dhcpcd ZeroConf support via a command line switch. Remove this switch in the NM source and you get this behaviour. DHCP DHCP timeout ZEROCONF DHCP DHCP ... ASSIGNED DHCP DROP ZERCONF It also defends it's IPv4LL address. Because of the way ZeroConf is designed to work, putting the work into the DHCP client makes perfect sense :) If your distro doesn't ship dhcpcd-4, you can get the source from here http://roy.marples.name/projects/dhcpcd Thanks Roy _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
