27 Thanks again for pointing me to logs. Those iptables was a
28 problem. There are the closed bug #573174. Iptables higher than 1.6
29 breaks connman. The solution is to use iptables lower than 1.6 or
30 connman higher than 1.32. So the combination of connman v1.29 and
31 iptables v1.6.1-r2 just cannot work. But unfortunately for me they both
32 have stable keyword. I beleive that this is a some kind of bug.
33 After I masked iptables higher than 1.6, reemerged the packages and
34 reboot, everything works like it should.
35
36 I don't know whether developers are reading this thread, but it would be
37 very nice to keyword only v1.4.21-r1 of iptables with stable keyword
38 (like they have done with kernel recently) or promote to stable some
39 version of connman higher than 1.32 upstream. This would completely
40 have this bug eliminated even before someone other than me hits it.
