The IPV6 was not my issue (or might have been secondary). Even with "Ignore" my dnsmasq services are not responding to DHCP requests. Things look good from the process output (which shows flags, etc for dnsmasq) but no joy when inspecting the wire for DHCP request/response. A separate issue in any event.
I did note that when I had IPV6 enabled (set to automatic) that dnsmasq seemed to function and support it based on the syslog output, so perhaps the lack of IPV6 support has been addressed in 12.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/857294 Title: Creating hotspot leads to endless connect/disconnect loop Status in “dnsmasq” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: - Create Hotspot via "System Settings > Network > Wireless > Hotspot" or manually in the network-manager - What I expected: * Hotspot is created, clients can use internet connection - What happened instead: * The new connection connects and disconnects after a second, when "autoconnect" is enabled, this happens very fast in a endless loop.
