Hello Bird sometimes reported 'bird: nl_parse_link: Malformed message received'. The cause is that bird asynchronously received netlink packet from wireless driver about some wireless event on its link layer. In that case bird shouldn't complain. This is fixed by the first patch. The second patch causes that 'Invalid broadcast address' error is reported only once for an interface and not during every interface scan. BTW, the behavior of the automatic OSPF password ID selection looks very strange to me. If i have several interfaces and one passord for each, then each password gets different ID based on position in config file. This is bug or feature? This looks almost useless to me and i think that automatic IDs might start with 1 for each interface. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'SanTiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."

Thank you, I will add this to the next release.

Good, this will go to the next release.

This is a feature I guess. You can set your own ID in config file. My solution is more flexible than solution proposed in rfc2328, but you can use BIRD in the way that rfc2328 proposed. Ondrej

Could you check the debian's package bug reports, I post there some simple patches for Bird: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=462341 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=462344 -otto

Hello!

ACK.
The second patch causes that 'Invalid broadcast address' error is reported only once for an interface and not during every interface scan.
I wonder: do we need to read the broadcast address set by ifconfig at all? It tends to be unreliable and I have never seen a system where the broadcast address is not set to the last address in the subnet.
