Comment:

 Tails clients who use Macs want this, but many of them still would have to
 type bridge lines manually in the "Tails Greeter | Network Configuration"
 panel. Tails > Application > Configure Persistence is available only if
 Tails starts from USB disk. This Tails persistence option is unavailable
 if Tails starts from DVD disk. Tails clients have been filing reports and
 making complaints for a long time about a persistent bug that prevents
 Tails starting from USB disk in iMacs and Macs.

 This bug appears to be a widespread problem that affects a large number of
 Tails clients who use iMacs and Macs. Maybe Tails needs some help with
 this.
