22 Same here, well, almost ...
23
24 The only feature that I can't get to work with my router is configuring a
25 static address for the particular router MAC address, but using dhcpd for any
26 other wired gateway I happen to connect to with my laptop.
27
28 # Define the gateways you want to configure
29 gateways_enp11s0="10.10.10.1,00:AA:BB:CC:DD:EE,10.10.10.7"
30 # Define the IP and netmask when using gateway 10.0.0.1
31 config_010010010001_00AABBCCDDEE="10.10.10.7/24"
32 # Define the default route for gateway 10.0.0.1
33 routes_010010010001_00AABBCCDDEE="default via 10.10.10.1"
34 # Define the DNS servers to use with gateway 10.0.0.1
35 dns_servers_010010010001_00AABBCCDDEE="10.10.10.1"
36 fallback_enp11s0="dhcp"
37
38 The above always fails to set a static IP address and defaults to using dhcp a
39 few seconds later. I have been blaming the router and its firmware for this,
40 unless you can see something wrong in my configuration.
