This is in fact a working configuration for the DNS proxy feature that connman offers built-in. See [1]. I personally went through your same frustration when trying to understand how connman is supposed to work in order to evaluate its maturity. Not yet an expert at all, but [2] and [3] gave me a reasonable bootstrap into connman's main logic. Beside this, "git grepping" the source tree is your best friend. Angstrom distribution, i.e. available on the beaglebone boards is also a good example of a real connman based system. > I really would like to understand what it does with these and how I can > change or modify it's behaviour. > > It's definitely not just "when ethernet cable inserted, bring up the > interface using DHCP". > > I even can't find a config file for connman. Is there one? Yes, there usually is one for each service handled by connman. See [4] for details on configuration file format and their default location. As you can see from previously suggested references, you'll usually modify configurations by using the connmanctl client tool instead of editing those files by hand.
