Bug ID: 362166
Summary: When configuring connection, populate fields with DHCP
information
Product: plasma-nm
Version: 5.5.5
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: editor
Assignee: lu...@kde.org
Reporter: kde.b...@moteprime.org
CC: jgrul...@redhat.com
On installation, Network Manager defaults the connection to DHCP. This gathers
lots of useful information - gateways, DNS settings, etc.
If I then decide to change the network address (I have a reserved static range
that I use for machines that act as servers), the connection editor presents me
with a completely page of settings.
It would be very helpful to fill these in with the parameters already supplied
by DHCP.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Networks from the system tray.
2. Select the "Configure network connections" icon - Connection Editor launches
3. Right click on a connection and select "Edit..."
4. Select the "IPv4" tab
5. Select method "manual"
Actual Results:
The fields for DNS server and current IP address are left blank for you to fill
in.
Expected Results:
These fields should be auto-filled with the DHCP-supplied information (if
available) for editing.
