What do you mean by the blurred term "Zeroconf"? Fedora installs Avahi
by default and NM does IPv4LL as a fallback when DHCP fails. What else
do you expect?

(Sure, afaik nm still uses its own ipv4ll code, and it should use
avahi-autoipd instead, but generally all the zeroconf technologies are
available by default. There's room for a lot of polishing,
though. Ubuntu's Zeroconf integration is admittedly much more refined)

Well I was not aware of  that NM checks for IPv4LL addresses. Being a student, I was just looking for a good project idea as I am learning about Zeroconf these days.
Now, I would like to know more about NM. :)
