DHCP with Manual DNS

  • A "bug" in LE 13 (might be present in 12)

    settings-libreelec-connections-wired-edit-DNS servers

    You can not change the DNS settings. You first have to set ipv4-dhcp to manual (no need to save) then change DNS, and then set to dhcp again. Otherwise error message: "changing this option is not allowed"

  • I'd argue the bug is not strictly adhering to the logic of using DHCP .. OR .. manual configuration, i.e. If you switch from DHCP to manual I would expect that the correct action is forcing the user to (re)define everything from scratch. That's probably an issue with our implementation of a ConnMan agent, and something to fix.
