[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#694522: Please include the DNSSL patch that landed in 3.5.

[Philipp Kern]

Package: src:linux
Version: 3.2.32-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch ipv6

Hi,

e35f30c131a562bafd069820a6983fd4023e606e landed in 3.5, adding support
to pass along DNSSL information (RFC 6106) from IPv6 Router
Advertisements to userspace programs via netlink. network-manager will
then use this information to add search list information to
/etc/resolv.conf.

The current wheezy kernel does not support this. Could this patch be
included? It's very small, too, because all it does is flagging the
option to be passed through. The current network-manager in wheezy
already supports the option.

    Treat ND option 31 as userland (DNSSL support)
    
    As specified in RFC6106, DNSSL option contains one or more domain names
    of DNS suffixes.  8-bit identifier of the DNSSL option type as assigned
    by the IANA is 31.  This option should also be treated as userland.
