Feature or improvement you want

When a device is connected to ethernet but I'm connected to it via bluetooth, there's no way to determine what DHCP IP it was issued. I would suggest adding it under the Network configuration option, and just reuse the IP/Gateway/Subnet fields that are greyed out when "IPv4 mode: DHCP" is selected

Why should this be added?

There's no way to determine the IP address of the device, unless mdns is working correctly, or you comb through DHCP server logs. Knowing the IP address helps confirm connectivity (if something's broken, it wouldn't get a lease), and can help when adding firewall rules.
