DHCP used when set for static ip - CalY - 07-05-2026
Installed DSL2024 rc7 to formatted partition that had rc5. Thought some of the issues have had might have been resolved. Have another issue: computer with rc5 always had static ip network. rc7 boots to DHCP even when /etc/network/interfaces has the static ip information in it. Where is DHCP set that ignores the interface file?

The short answer is connman. There are quiite a few threads upstream.

Thanks for response. Eventually I found the tab in Connman which can set for static ip. The titles for network apps in Control Centre are misleading: Network Assistant displays some info but cannot modify. Network Interfaces is Ceni that can modify parameters, does not save it. WiFi Connect is Connman does have settings to save for wired interfaces. Is Ceni supposed to save details?
