Bird OSPF + Wireguard + Jessie w/kernel 4.8.7-1

[Will van Gulik]

Hi,

I just had an interesting case, and I'm not sure it's related to the kernel, bird, or the wireguard tool I'm trying.

I'm using wireguard as tunnel device, and asking bird to listen ospf on the related interface (wg2 in this case).

My kernel is the following :
Linux XXXX 4.8.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.8.7-1 (2016-11-13) x86_64 GNU/Linux
I tried two release (1.4.5 and 1.6.2) of Bird, with no change.

Here is what I got from the log, without additional debug information from Bird :
Dec  4 22:56:18 apu02 bird: ospf1: Socket error on wg2: Required key not available

This case doesn't happen with a previous release of kernel :
Linux YYYY 4.8.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.8.5-1 (2016-10-28) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have to admit I didn't check the change-log between the two version of kernels. 

Anyone stumbled on that one ?

Cheers,

Will
