Legacy networking (nova-network) in OpenStack Installation Guide for Ubuntu 12.04/14.04 (LTS) - icehouse

[Roger Unwin]

Please consider adding this hint to the nova-networking page for people who would like to run the full stack on a single machine using wifi for networking.

add:

 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE

to /etc/rc.local

possibly a note to set nova.conf to:
   flat_network_bridge=br100
   flat_interface=p2p1
   public_interface=br100
if you are using wifi and no ethernet, as managed by NetworkManager

p.s. keep up the great work!

Hi Roger,

The installation guide covers a particular, well-tested architecture for legacy networking to provide a consistent, streamlined installation process and to avoid confusion. We can't maintain this approach by adding notes for variations of this architecture.
