Package: bridge-utils
Version: 1.5-9
Severity: important
the bridge-utils/ifupdown is not setting up bridge interfaces on boot-up
the interfaces file i'm using with ifupdown is very similar to the
following,
'
allow-hotplug eth0
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
up /sbin/ip link set eth0 up
pre-down /sbin/ip addr flush dev eth0
down /sbin/ip link set eth0 down
allow-hotplug br0
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
bridge_ports eth0
bridge_stp off
bridge_waitport 0
bridge_fd 0
bridge_maxwait 0
bridge_hw <>
address <>
netmask 255.255.255.0
network <>.0
broadcast <>.255
gateway <>
'
Network-manager is not installed so there's no confusion as to what is
handling networking setups on startup.
A temporary workaround to the startup problem is one can use "ifup br0"
in /etc/rc.local which tends to work relatively well. I know all the
stanzas are properly defined in the interfaces file, as to why the
startup scripts are failing that I'm not sure.
please look into the ifup.d bridge-util startup scripts
thanks
