Hey, so as part of the discussion about NetworkManager vs

```

in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf.

Did this.  Then turned off the ethernet link and restarted
NetworkManager to pick up the change.  Turned on the ethernet link.


The networkd DHCP code has gotten a fair amount of testing
in server environments, but I suspect it could use more battle
testing in two things:

1) Desktop systems with a wider variety of DHCP environments
   home routers

Success, seems to be working fine (I haven't noticed any problems).

Looks fine here, too, using Cinnamon, MATE and Gnome 3 Desktops on 
Fedora 25.

For one very small data point: I changed my laptop to use internal as
soon as I discovered it was an option (I dunno when exactly; more than
a year ago I think) and have not ever experienced any trouble. in > 2)
Cases where one wants to propagate various config options
