Bug#787480: Ping?

[Mario Lang]

Hi.

I just discovered IPMasquerade= in systemd.network(5) which is exactly
what I need to set up a Bluetooth PAN Access Point.  The config
*would* be straight forward via systemd-networkd (bt-pan related setup
not included):

/etc/systemd/network/pan.netdev:
[NetDev]
Name=pan
Kind=bridge
ForwardDelaySec=0

/etc/systemd/network/pan.network:
[Match]
Name=pan

[Network]
Address=10.2.1.1/24
DHCPServer=yes
IPMasquerade=yes


However, during testing I realized that while IPMasquerade= is
documented in systemd.network(5), it is a noop on Debian.

It would be nice if we could get this bug fixed before the release.
Preferably by enabling iptable support in systemd.

If this is not possible (which would be quite sad, given how convenient
this feature actually is), I suggest we at least remove IPMasquerade=
From the manpage (or augment it with a note that this feature is not
available) to avoid confusing users (like me).
