tankdriver, I think the address in use error may be a red herring, as thats what happens if you rapidly shutdown and start back up a listening socket without using the SO_REUSEADDR socket option. dnsmasq is basically saying that it can't listen because there may be existing half-closed sockets on the port it wants to listen on.
That said, it needs to be investigated in both network manager and dnsmasq, so marking as Medium importance in both. ** Changed in: dnsmasq (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/857294 Title: Creating hotspot leads to endless connect/disconnect loop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dnsmasq/+bug/857294/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
