hi, It seems that in F8, when nm failed to get a DHCP reply, it will use zeroconf to get a IP address for NIC. It's something like this: ...

It just failed when cannot get a DHCP rely. This is very bad for me. I am using a pppoe connection. This new behavior make the pppoe's NIC failed to get a IP address and ppp dial will fail. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
