Hello,
I have successfully setup a AX25 interface and NM see it this way:
nmcli d
DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION
ax0 unknown connected ax0
eth2 ethernet unavailable --
ttyACM0 gsm unavailable --
lo loopback unmanaged --
sit0 sit unmanaged --
wlan2 wifi unmanaged --
The ax0 interface have only a IP address (configured while creating
the
ax0):
ifconfig ax0
ax0 Link encap:AMPR AX.25 HWaddr MENHIR-6
inet addr:192.168.222.16 Bcast:192.168.222.255

How can I configure NM to add a static default gateway and a static
DNS
server when, and only when, NM have to use the ax0 interface ? This
is
on a Debian Jessie system, so there is no /etc/sysconfig directory.
The device ax0 was created and upped outside of NM's knowledge, so NM created a temporary connection "ax0" to reflect that external setup. This is what you see as active in `nmcli d`. You can modify and reuse this created connection, or create a different connection (possibly deleting the generated one). Note that NM doesn't understand AX25 devices, but it should still work to do Layer3/IP configuration. In general such unknown devices is treated as "generic". If you look at the created connection `nmcli connection show ax0` you should see that it's of connection.type=generic. Basically, adjust the generic connection to have the settings you want. See `man nm-settings` for possible options. Especially the "ipv4" section. Thomas
