I need to configure wifi-eathernet bridge for my IP cameras net. I've tried to use this tutorial: Sharing the Pi's WiFi connection through the Ethernet port, to resolve my issue and experienced another one. When I try to start dnsmasq as sudo systemctl start dnsmsq the error occured. Here is the code:

● dnsmasq.service - dnsmasq - A lightweight DHCP and caching DNS server

Also, here is sudo journalctl -u dnsmasq.service result:

Result: resources - not a very informative message. Could you please help me with this.

Here are all configuration:

/etc/dnsmasq.conf
