This should explain a "little" clearer.
tried:
ifdown p6p1; ifup p6p1
$ rpm -qf $(which ifdown) $(which ifup)

Should ask someone who actually uses this rather outdated method.
Plus biosdevname, eh.
And that did not refresh the dhcp information. I deleted the lease on
the firewall and bounced the ethernet with no changes. /etc/resolv still
does not have my DNS server addresses.
With WiFi, I would have turned off the radio, turned it back on,
connected to my SSID and (normally) gotten the new lease info.
BTW, this is a F21/Gnome setup (have not found the time to upgrade this
notebook to F22...)
Also, should ask someone who actually uses GNOME.
Besides why do you refer to Fedora 22?
Sometimes I really wonder where my thoughts are. This 'old' notebook is
F20/Gnome. It is scheduled to upgrade to F21/Xfce unless I start using
it for F22 beta testing.
I am changing my ISP and struggling with their gateway and how to
configure a real router/firewall behind it. So my attention is divided
in too many directions. This ISP has seriously dumbed down their
gateway and I keep hitting limitations. Just this morning I figured out
that if I implement virtual routers on MY router/firewall, I can fix
most of the limitations I have encountered. Perhaps after I get this
figured out, I can sell it back to them!
I have 3 systems in testing: One 'native' behind their firewall. One
external (on my current ISP). And one behind my firewall. It is this
one that keeps getting new settings as I test out different combinations
where I am getting tired of not DHCP settings not getting updated.
It is past time for me to learn nmcli instead of using old methods like
ifdown/ifup as you said. I am right now reading various docs on nmcli.
I suspect nmcli may replace my use of iwlist and other wireless commands
I sometimes fall back on.
So back to reading up on nmcli.
And getting virtual router config working on my firewall. Much of it is
deciding what addressing structure I want to use as the addressing gets
so buried in the firewall rules as to make address changes challenging.
