Hi, I am using sid and 2.6.24 from Debian official repository. I installed network-manager and want it to obtain IP from DHCP server for eth0. Sometimes DHCP server responds slowly and cannot assign a valid IP immediately, and then network-manager assign a link-local IP like 169.254.x.x to eth0. But I want n-m to continue to request IP from DHCP server instead of using 169.254.x.x. when failing. How can I disable using such link-local IP?
I purged zeroconf, avahi-daemon, avahi-autoipd and no config files left in /etc. But it still does not work. Could you give me some suggestions? Thanks!
