switch NMIP[46]Config's NMIP[46]Address to NMPlatformIP[46]Address
Last modified: 2013-07-30 16:36:01 UTC
nm-ip4-config and nm-ip6-config internal objects that are used throughout NetworkManager use NMIP[46]Address which are part of public API and doesn't cover the needs of autoconfigured addresses. Autoconfigured addresses need to carry lifetime information from autoconfiguration modules through core NetworkManager (nm-device and possibly nm-manager) to nm-platform. That way the DHCP lifetimes can be conveyed to the kernel and then used for connection assumption.
Done.
