Hi It is most likely the same problem. There is a simple solution - use 1.4.5 from wheezy-backports: https://packages.debian.org/wheezy-backports/bird http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/b/bird/bird_1.4.5-1~bpo70+1_mips.deb That works on my EdgeRouter Lite (although i have regular Debian Wheezy 7.5 on it instead of EdgeOS, with kernel from the original EdgeOS - 2.6.32.13-UBNT). > 2) I use DHCP to get an IP on my WAN interface (cable modem) and the > broadcast address on the interface after configuration is > 255.255.255.255, which is not the right broadcast address for the IP > assigned.
