Bug#638656: br2684: Sent packets truncated in VC routed mode
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 3.0.0-2
Tags: upstream, patch, fixed-upstream
Hello,
The transmit function for VC-MUX routed encapsulation wrongly
strips an ethernet header from IP packets, but there is no ethernet
header so it actually truncates the IP header.
The bug was introduced in Linux 2.6.26. It was fixed upstream in
Linux 3.1-rc1 and 3.0.3 by the following patch which has been added to
the 2.6.32-longterm queue and will hopefully be included in the next
2.6.32.46 release.
Please fix Linux 2.6.32 in Squeeze/stable.
The bug also exists in Linux 2.6.26 in Lenny/oldstable but the br2684ctl
package in Lenny/oldstable does not support routed mode.
Regards.
