Why do you have all this eth0 stuff, bridge-utils do the ifconfig of the eth0 interface without any problem, I'd try to remove that. > 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 <> The allow hotplug br0 doesn't make much sense here, as the bridge is not something you plug, so I'd remove that. Can you please to those changes and test again? If it still fails, please send me the exact config and I need to know if the eth0 card is an usb card or something being hotplugged like pcmcia or similar. If eth0 exists when bridge-utils tries to configure the bridge I believe this setup should work, but if it doesn't, when you send me the full interfaces I'll try to replicate the problem here.
