The rules for setting up an IP address on your computer in Linux has changed and now there is this connman thing. I'm on a Beaglebone black:
Linux beaglebone 4.19.94-ti-rt-r72 #1buster SMP PREEMPT RT Tue Mar 8 23:22:50 UTC 2022 armv7l GNU/Linux
I see there is a file,
cat /var/lib/connman/default.config 
[service_eth0]
Type = ethernet
IPv4 = 192.168.1.132/24
1) Do I change this file to change my IP address? For example, if I want my IP address to be 192.168.42.42, do I just change it in that IPv4 line? 2) If I want to change this to be assigned by the router (dhcp?), what do I do? 3) When does the change take effect? Do I have to reboot and/or stop and restart some service?
