i'm working with an USB-C Ethernet adapter to setup a point-to-point IP connection between a phone and a server.
i'm using a Samsung phone.
as soon as the USB-C adapter is plugged-in, the "Ethernet" item in the Network Settings page become selected (it's under the VPN and Private DNS settings)
i can set a static IP for the ethernet port here (i can't use the default DHCP setting), but it also requires me to set a gateway and a DNS.
it doesn't let me confirm the setting if i don't put values in the gateway and DNS fields.
in my setup, both are not-existent, so i'd like to leave them blank.
now i have 2 questions:
1) is this a limit of the Samsung interface? is there anyone with a different phone (ideally a Pixel) and an USB-C Ethernet adapter that can verify this?
2) assuming it's an Android (not a brand-specific issue), where can i submit an enhancement/bugfix request to Google for allowing such a configuration?
as a side note, the ethernet configuration on iOS devices allows for empty gateway and DNS fields, which is a perfectly legal TCP/IP configuration.
