[pkg-dhcp-devel] Bug#717215: 717215: wrong udp checksum with virtio: workaround and patch

[Holger Levsen]

merge 717215 717217
thanks

Hi,

so this bug is caused by the virtio driver not populating the UDP checksum and 
thus dhcpd complains about this, see 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/isc-dhcp/+bug/930962
for more background and a patch for dhcpd.

From a user perspective the workaround is easy: use a different NIC driver, ie 
e1000 works with kvm.

I wonder whether one of the two bugs should be reassigned to the kernel, as 
the root cause is in virtio and not dhcpd.

Thanks to Daniel Swarbrick for making me aware of this issue.


cheers,
	Holger
