tankdriver, I think the address in use error may be a red herring, as thats what happens if you rapidly shutdown and start back up a listening socket without using the SO_REUSEADDR socket option. dnsmasq is basically saying that it can't listen because there may be existing half-closed sockets on the port it wants to listen on.

That said, it needs to be investigated in both network manager and dnsmasq, so marking as Medium importance in both.
