We've tried. Nobody, including you, has been able to suggest how to fix
it. And it's not just broken with network namespaces enabled either, as
Eric explained. I really don't see why you keep asking us to fix it when
clearly we cannot -- even you don't know how and you certainly have more
insight into the device model than we do.
