Like I have explained to you in other bugs, I could replicate the problem and found that it was a problem with bridge-utils, I have assigned #980752 to bridge-utils and added a patch to fix that on the bug report. > Yes, they all have bridge=br0 in their config. Ok, I've been looking at your interfaces and I have some sugestions to make, removal of hwaddress statements, leave just the bridge_hw ones, remove all the ipv6 statements if they don't provide real meaning and I would extend this to any other stuff you have written. I would leave it like this: allow-hotplug wlxdongle1mac wlxdongle2mac wlxdongle3mac wlxdongle4mac wlxdongle5mac auto br0 iface br0 inet dhcp hwaddress enp4s0mac bridge_hw enp4s0mac bridge_ports regex (en|wl).* iface wlxdongle1mac inet manual hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd-wlxdongle1mac.conf iface wlxdongle2mac inet manual hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd-wlxdongle2mac.conf iface wlxdongle3mac inet manual hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd-wlxdongle3mac.conf iface wlxdongle4mac inet manual hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd-wlxdongle4mac.conf iface wlxdongle5mac inet manual hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd-wlxdongle5mac.conf I have tested this after applying the patch I sent to bug #980752 with a new dongle I have just bought and seems to work ok with a similar configuration. Can you please apply the patch on #980752 to your system and modify the configuration like I suggest and let me know how things go? Regards. -- Manty/BestiaTester -> http://manty.net
