To turn on zeroconf you need to modify the link to use BOOTPROTO=autoip.  (Shows as "Local-Link" in the nm gui)

You'll then have something along the lines of...

[egreshko@f20f ~]$ route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
169.254.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 p2p1
224.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         240.0.0.0       U     1      0        0 p2p1
