Hi,
After a successful connection to a service, ConnMan starts DHCP

ConnMan will assign a Link-local address to that given interface. At
the end of this process, ConnMan will notify the assigned IPv4 address
with "dhcp" as method.
Yep, that is indeed misleading.
We consider it should be "auto" in order to let
know that the DHCP process failed and that address is a Link-local
address. What do people think?
According the docs we report for IPv4 dhcp, manual and off. For IPv6 is
auto, manual, 6to4 and off. If I got that correct[1] then is IPv6's auto
the LL for IPv4. So yes, that sounds the right thing to do.
Thanks,
Daniel
