All :

     I just gave a try to install the most recent 24th Oct 2022 daedalus
and everything goes swimmingly during the installer phase. I generally
use the expert mode in order to avoid DHCP and to specify the precise
network config that I want.

     However at first boot I see the machine is not at all correct in
terms of network address information. I went to the console and as root
I see that ip addr show reports both network interfaces have DHCP ip and
NEITHER of them are correct for what I really wanted during install.

root@sedna:~# uname -a
Linux sedna 6.0.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.0.3-1

# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# The primary network interface

iface eth0 inet static
         address 172.16.35.9/26
         gateway 172.16.35.1
         # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if

However in actual fact I get this DHCP madness :

root@sedna:~# ip addr show

This has to be a bug.


Now then, do I need to nuke connman out of existence in order to regain
some network sanity?
