[Bug 1042260] Re: physdev options cannot be inverted

[Bryce Harrington]

Thanks for the pointer to this fix.  Since it sounds like we may want to
SRU this to precise, could you also provide a step-by-step test case and
a discussion of the level of regression risk this patch may have?

** Description changed:

- This is a regression on iptables 1.4.12 (the one in precise) not
- allowing to invert options like ! --physdev-is-bridged. This affects at
- least zentyal-network, as it introduces these kind of rules when
- configuring a bridged network interface.

  This is already fixed in 1.4.13. Also, you can find attached the patch
  extracted from the iptables GIT repository.
