I configured Network Manager to use the TBT interface to share an internet connection to another box. This configures a static IP address on the local Linux side and sets up routing. Network manager remembers setup this in a configuration database. When the interface goes up it will then set up a DHCP server to hand out an IP address to the other side. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
