dhcpcd vs zeroconf

Estimated read time: 1 minutes

maybe you know a situation that is regular for me: when testing a new wireless network - if dhcp is misconfigured, dhcpcd would just have to timeout. though - thanks to zeroconf support - it uses to pick up some ip addresses instead, making debugging hard. so here is a trick to disable zeroconf support (so that dhcpcd will just timeout):

append

dhcp_opts = -L

to your /etc/sysconfig/network/default (or other) profile for the section of the wireless interface
