NetworkManager/DHCP

From postmarketOS

Here's a list of the DHCP Clients integrated in NetworkManager and the problems that have been discovered with them.

Currently the default is dhcpcd.

Internal

Devices not able to connect to WiFi (with old vendor kernels) (pmaports#148 and pmaports#210) Change /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf to contain dhcp=dhclient and sudo apk add dhclient

dhcpcd

Device is flooded with IPv6-related messages (pmaports#45 - NetworkManager issue: NetworkManager#5)

dhclient

-

dnsmasq

Dnsmasq needs to be compiled with Dbus support in order to function. Comment the line dns=dnsmasq in /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/dns.conf. (aports!31213 - dnsmasq: add package with dbus support: dnsmasq)
