Hi, in case of a machine that is only connected via a link-local IP address (169.254/16), the machine is (normally) not "fully" connected to the internet nor the LAN. A well-known OS from Redmond warns the user in this case about the probably lack of connectivity, I learned today. NM seems to be happy with the link-local connection. Would it make sense for NM to distinguish here as well? This would make it easier for programs using the NM API to "know" (guess), whether the machine is really connected to a network or not. Or should this better be done in the application instead of NM?
Thanks in advance! _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
