[Bug 857294] [NEW] Creating hotspot leads to endless connect/disconnect loop

 

Public bug reported:

- Create Hotspot via "System Settings > Network > Wireless > Hotspot" or manually in the network-manager
- What I expected:
* Hotspot is created, clients can use internet connection
- What happened instead:
* The new connection connects and disconnects after a second, when "autoconnect" is enabled, this happens very fast in a endless loop.

I think this error message in the log causes the failure:
> dnsmasq[5213]: failed to create listening socket for 10.42.43.1: Address already in use
> dnsmasq[5213]: FAILED to start up
