I continued investigating. Today I had a freshly installed RockyLinux 8.6, network wasn't configured during install. I've fired nmtui and did manual configuration. On purpose I've keep automatic and provided manual configuration parameters (IP/Mask, default gateway and DNS). Got the same behaviour. Did screenshots that attached to this note. I'm now thinking that this might be a network-manager Issue, not an Installer bug. Screenshot_20220804_130436.png (145,571 bytes) Screenshot_20220804_123128.png (101,526 bytes) |

Thank you for the report. This doesn't appear to be a bug and is normal behavior with network manager (where the configuration stays "automatic" despite filling in static data). If you are configuring a static address, you generally should set the method to manual. On the command line for example, you would use `nmcli con mod <interface> ipv4.method manual` to ensure that this is the case. Otherwise, auto is the default. This is the case whether you're doing it from nmcli, nmtui, or the installer. |

I don't understand this as a bug too, mostly misfeature. I wouldn't realize of this if I did it in a network with an active DHCP server. I think that at least the graphicall installer shouldn't let you fill manual values, when you choose automatic. It took me several minutes to find out what's going on. |
