tankdriver, I think the address in use error may be a red herring, as thats what happens if you rapidly shutdown and start back up a listening socket without using the SO_REUSEADDR socket option. dnsmasq is basically saying that it can't listen because there may be existing half-closed sockets on the port it wants to listen on.
That said, it needs to be investigated in both network manager and dnsmasq, so marking as Medium importance in both. ** Changed in: dnsmasq (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dnsmasq in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/857294 Title: Creating hotspot leads to endless connect/disconnect loop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dnsmasq/+bug/857294/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
