[pkg-go] Bug#1079327: podman: Fails to create vlan aware bridge network

[Alex Hermann]

Package: podman
Version: 5.2.1+ds1-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch



Hi,

In podman, CNI networking is by default not enabled anymore. The
"alternative" (netavark) is, unfortunately, not on feature parity
with CNI. For example, vlan aware bridge networks are not supported [1].

Podman provides a build tag to re-enable CNI. Please enable it until
netavark reaches features compatibility with CNI.

I tested with the below patch and my networks are back being supported
by podman 5.
