Hi,

unfortunately I didn't get any response.

It should not be a configuration issue, because we found this problem on all 
our servers (production) AND on a fresh installation of OpenVAS 9 under Kali 
(out of the box).

We made a workaround, whichs works for us, but might not help in other 
situations:

We use the comment field for the interface description and start a script to 
bring the interface up before we start the scan and bring the interface down 
afterwards.

Maybe someone at Greenbone can give us some more information about that 
problem...

Hi Christian,

did you get any feedback in the meanwhile - or did you find a solution? Is 
there any official instance to report bugs to? I am wondering why this problem 
is not more visible in the community. It is extremely distracting if you try to 
use openVAS in daily business.

Is there anybody in the community who does NOT see the described problem? This 
information would be very valuable too because it could give some hints if it 
is a general bug or if it only happens in some configuration.

Many thanks in advance!
