Ca parca tot n-aveam io de lucru azi dupa-masa pe la patru asa, m’apuca gandul sa fac si io update la Quagga pe un Ubuntu Dapper, care cica fixa niste instabilitati pentru ASN-uri pe 32 de biti. Facui io update bucuros, restart la daemoni si dadui sa continui cu trebile mele. Da de unde, “nu mai merge internetul”. Si asa era:

L-au fixat de i-au sarit mucii, noroc cu un modem USB de la Vodafone sa caut pe internet versiunea anterioara de Quagga care stiam ca merge bine mersi. Gasit, downloadat, downgradat si reparat.
