I'm connecting an embedded device to a PC, so that the PC can access the GUI (web interface) of the device. Th link local address has the advantage, that there is very little configuration necessary for the end user and no address conflict will happen with the LAN of the user. For this no routing is necessary. However, in some situations it would be a nice extra if the PC could act as a router to e.g. a software repository. I can set the gateway manually on the device and it works fine (even if not intended by the IP standards), but at least the network-manager applet lacks, it seems, any settings for this. (NM applet is not used on the embedded device, but I used it as a tool to create NM configuration files.) _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
