There is also a service called "pppd-dns.service" that references "/etc/ppp/ip-down.d/0000usepeerdns", this service is enabled by default and fails on new installs.
It should be disabled and optionally, the file removed too.

I think this needs to be backported to 1.3 too

@pasik you can build your own image: https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build/compare/equuleus...fvlaicu:vyos-build:equuleus-1.3.2

@pasik the problem is with the igc driver in the 5.4 kernel, not with vyos.

@dmbaturin, here are the changes I made: https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build/compare/equuleus...fvlaicu:equuleus
I'm using the 1.4 kernel in 1.3.

yes, I had to do a bit of hacking - i.e. use the 1.4 kernel configs and patches, removed the wirguard-modules package, install the backports open-vm-tools version.
I committed those changes in my fork:
https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build/compare/equuleus...fvlaicu:equuleus

I'm also trying to get this up and running. The latest 5.4 kernel fixes this issue, but other issues remain, like bridging not working.
Instead of backporting the driver, I ended up backporting the lataest 5.10 kernel to the 1.3 branch.
