Hi Alexander (and anyone who comes across this later), There is no DHCP server installed in the phone, only a DHCP client: purism@pureos:~$ dpkg -l | grep dhcp ii isc-dhcp-client 4.4.1-2.3+deb11u2 arm64 DHCP client for automatically obtaining an IP address ii isc-dhcp-common 4.4.1-2.3+deb11u2 arm64 common manpages relevant to all of the isc-dhcp packages purism@pureos:~$ apt info isc-dhcp-server Package: isc-dhcp-server Version: 4.4.1-2.3+deb11u2 Priority: optional ... Download-Size: 524 kB APT-Sources: https://repo.pureos.net/pureos byzantium/main arm64 Packages ... i.e. could be downloaded and installed, but it is not. For the reasos that this is not installed and configured in the phone one could read and understand these posting in the Purism's forum: https://forums.puri.sm/t/l5-dhcp-server/21828 I'm not an Debian and NetworkManager expert. It is just a fact, that the phone device sends DHCP requests when carrier comes up. The solution I've configured and documented gives what I was in need: SSH access from the FreeBSD laptop into the phone (to do things there like installations, troubleshooting, readin my mails, etc.). Hope it helps someone in the same need. > > Why swim against the current and make things more complex than they need to be? Because there is no DHCP server installed in the phone. I will copy your (Alexander) public reply from this mailing list into the forum and will ask Purism staff why the things have been setup this ways.
