IF I can prevent NM and avahi from assigning a totally bogus 169.
route, it just works.
NetworkManager supports static network configuration and it has been
working for years.
Of course, by default it tries to get configuration from a DHCP
server. A connection with a static address may be created even from GUI.
There was a thread several months ago with discussion of link local
169.254.x.y addresses. They may coexist with dynamic or static IP
addresses. avahi-autoipd (avahi is another daemon) just tries to make
at least some network resources available for you. It is not a fault
of avahi-autoipd or NetworkManager that your configuration expects
DHCP response on a network where static addresses are used.
Where may I find that thread?
I would like to read it
Thanks
