Hi Andreas, sorry for the delay.

Right, and would disrupt current TCP connections. If that happens for you, please file a bug against network-manager. However, since n-m currently only knows about one active connection, you cannot set up the described scenario with n-m at the moment. You have to manually configure the ethernet card for DHCP (with long timeout) or the new 'ipv4ll' method (no DHCP timeout) with network-admin. > Also, I do not get any 169.254.0.0/16 address for eth0, although > this worked some days ago on my first try. With n-m? If you can reproduce this, can you please file a bug against n-m and subscribe me? Thanks!
