Hi, I have a problem when I try to provision a service that is already connected and wasn't provisioned before. Here is what happened: Initial situation: I use connman 1.36. I only have one Ethernet service. Ethernet service is not provisioned so it defaults to DHCP, found a DHCP server and obtained an IP address. Event: I create /etc/network/connman/kconf.config (/etc/network/connman is my storage dir in my setup) with these data: [service_lan] Type = ethernet IPv4 = 192.168.4.181/192.168.4.4/255.255.254.0 Nameservers = 8.8.8.8 These values are taken into account for Ethernet service: root@klk-wiis-020006:~ # connmanctl connmanctl> services ethernet_7076ff030010_cable /net/connman/service/ethernet_7076ff030010_cable   Type = ethernet   Security = [  ]   State = online   Favorite = True   Immutable = True   AutoConnect = True   Name = Wired   Ethernet = [ Method=auto, Interface=eth0, Address=70:76:FF:03:00:10, MTU=1500 ]   IPv4 = [ Method=fixed, Address=192.168.4.181, Netmask=255.255.254.0, Gateway=192.168.4.4 ]   IPv4.Configuration = [ Method=fixed, Address=192.168.4.181, Netmask=255.255.254.0, Gateway=192.168.4.4 ]   IPv6 = [ Method=auto, Address=fdf4:ffb1:9715:b409:7276:ffff:fe03:10, PrefixLength=64, Privacy=disabled ]   IPv6.Configuration = [ Method=auto, Privacy=disabled ]   Nameservers = [ 8.8.8.8 ]   Nameservers.Configuration = [  ]   Timeservers = [  ]   Timeservers.Configuration = [  ]   Domains = [ klksi.fr ]   Domains.Configuration = [  ]   Proxy = [ Method=direct ]   Proxy.Configuration = [  ]   mDNS = False   mDNS.Configuration = False   Provider = [  ] But current configuration is not modified (still got DHCP address): root@klk-wiis-020006:~ # ifconfig eth0 eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 70:76:FF:03:00:10           inet addr:192.168.4.110  Bcast:192.168.5.255  Mask:255.255.254.0           inet6 addr: fdf4:ffb1:9715:b409:7276:ffff:fe03:10/64 Scope:Global           inet6 addr: fe80::7276:ffff:fe03:10/64 Scope:Link           UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1           RX packets:1510 errors:0 dropped:8 overruns:0 frame:0           TX packets:190 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0           collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000           RX bytes:182964 (178.6 KiB)  TX bytes:42668 (41.6 KiB) In connman debug traces (attached) it seems that service is not disconnected-reconnected. That's why there is a difference between current real eth0 configuration and connman DBUS properties. This can be fixed by a connman restart (this time, information in kconf.config file will be used to connect ethernet device using fixed IP address). If I do the same thing with an already provisioned service, it is correctly disconnected and reconnected. At the end of operation, eth0 IP, gateway, ... is aligned with configuration in kconf.config file even without a connman restart. I made a patch (attached) to fix this problem. The idea is to force service disconnection when connman knows that a new configuration is available for this service. I have simply copied what is done in unregister_service (src/config.c). My questions are: 1) Do you think the behavior described here is a bug or should I not do this (provision a connected service) / do this differently? 2) If it is a bug, is this the right way to fix it? I will be without mail access until end of July. If you think this is a bug and wants a patch quicker than that, please do the correct patch. If you can wait and give me advice on what would be a correct patch, I can submit this patch when I am back from holidays. Best Regards, Christophe Ronco
