It would probably be good to mention this in the documentation, but I don't think there is currently a section talking about DHCP. |

Yeah, I don't believe our documentation talks about networking very much at all. It seems like a common enough foot gun. It may be worth mentioning, although most people probably don't need to know very much |

I added some draft documentation, although I'm unsure if I got the level of detail right. |

Description
This enables link-local as a fallback to DHCP address resolution, using the new features of NetworkManager 1.52. Debian 13 (Trixie) and Ubuntu 26.04 (Resolute) introduce the required updates to NetworkManager for this to work. Unlike #1550, this continues to timeout and retry DHCP while holding a link-local address, which should avoid breaking compatibility with DHCP servers that don't respond immediately.
Closes #1813, blocked on updating the images to have NM 1.52 or later.
