Package: ifplugd
Version: 0.28-19
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

it looks like ifplugd is using too small a buffer for the netlink api in
recent kernels and fails on 3.8.2 with the following error:
Apr  2 04:08:47 navi ifplugd(eth0)[4145]: NLAPI: Packet too small or truncated!
Apr  2 04:08:47 navi ifplugd(eth0)[4145]: Exiting.

This can be resolved by increasing the buffer in src/nlapi.c:nlapi_work() from
1024 to 4096 bytes.

See also the related bug for ifmetric:

Cheers,
Tobias
