To clarify, not possible on NM 0.9.8. NM 0.9.10 and later make large efforts to preserve configuration made outside NM. > > > > > It seems that this dropping happens immediately when dhcp lease is > > gained.

This actually sounds like the RFEs we've had for a while to allow multiple addressing schemes. eg instead of "link-local only" allow both "auto" and link-local in parallel. Maybe? But I think it could be handled with dispatcher scripts too that would spawn avahi-autoipd --force-bind on the interface that has just been upped by NM.
