Bug#774970: Reviewed for ubuntu

2019-07-23 Thread zrm
One of the issues with the suggested fix (and the original 
dnsmasq.service file) is that it still fails to ever start dnsmasq if 
the Requires= target fails at boot, even if the target is eventually 
reached.


That can be addressed by adding a WantedBy= entry to the [Install] 
section corresponding to each Requires= entry in the [Unit] section.


That way when the target is reached it tries to start dnsmasq again.



Bug#763606: Bridge configuration stopped working with kernel 3.16 (was working with previous kernel 3.14)

It is. Has also infected the last two Ubuntu LTS releases and probably 
jessie.


I have done some testing. It's unrelated to OpenVPN, it's the 
combination of ethernet bridging and sungem. Bug occurs if you bridge a 
sungem interface with anything. Other network chips bridge fine with 
each other in the same machine with otherwise identical configuration.


The bridge will send packets through the sungem interface into the 
network with no trouble, and will receive broadcast and multicast 
packets from it, but unicast packets received through the sungem 
interface don't make it to the bridge. So it may be that promiscuous 
mode is broken.
