I have installed the new raspberrypi-net-mods using dhcpcd on my Pi running the latest Raspbian. This works, but I am trying to understand why and how. I have read the dhcpcd and interfaces man pages but these do not seem to apply to the actual interface.The /etc/network/interfaces used to contain iface eth0 inet dhcp which has been replaced by iface eth0 inet manualWhere does the IP address come from? This seems to allocate the same IP reservation from my router.NOTE I am asking this here because I am hoping to find information on the operation of dhcpcd and networking on Linux rather than just trying to solve a Pi problem.
