[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#764084: ifplugd & NetworkManager

[Cyrille Bollu]

Ok,

As I couldn't understand to configure NM to disable this zeroconf/ipv4ll
stuff (where's the doc?!?), I've tried to use ifplugd.

It's a neat package, but there are gotcha:

1- you need to configure it, because by default it won't monitor any
interface, despite what's writen in its man page (option -i);
2- you need to uninstall avahi-autoipd, as otherwise, it will do its thing
and you'll end up with a default route to 169.254....

So, in my case, by uninstalling avahi-autoipd and installing and
configuring ifplugd, I could overcome this issue.

So, now, I've a nice system that automatically set up my ethernet network
interface when needed (ie: when there's a cable plugged in), but without
ipv4ll (RFC3927) support.
