Fixed In Version:
Doc Type: Release Note
Doc Text:
OpenStack Networking provided by the component formerly known as Quantum is only supported when network namespaces are enabled. Many common configurations rely on support for network namespaces and will not function correctly without them. As such the use of OpenStack Networking without a network namespaces enabled kernel, such as the one provided in this release, is not supported.

Comment 1 Perry Myers 2013-05-30 05:12:55 UTC
Our plan presently is to support Quantum only when network namespaces are enabled.  There are too many caveats and configurations that do not work when netns is disabled, such that it is not a supportable configuration for our customers.

Because of that, I am closing this bug as WONTFIX.  The workaround should be to enable network namespaces and use a kernel/userspace that supports netns.
