I have a headless system that I cannot connect to.  So I was thinking to put a

fping -g 169.254.0.0/16

And SHOULD be able to get its address, and then SSH into the box.

Any other thoughts?  I can't get to the box to recable it and reboot it (as 
that is the only way I can figure out for it to readdress eth0) until this 
evening.
To turn on zeroconf you need to modify the link to use BOOTPROTO=autoip.  (Shows as 
"Local-Link" in the nm gui)

But what file is this in now? /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts is a mess now with scripts for each wifi connection and I can't find any for my ethernet adapter.



You'll then have something along the lines of...
