This sounds like the perfect setup for the PC side. (In many cases this would be an MS-Windows PC, though.) I wonder, what is the complementary NM setup for the embedded devices side? Is there a connection type in network manager, that first tries DHCP (dhclient) and after timing out tries local link as second option? (Not sure, but I believe MS-Windows does it that way.)
