Hi!

I'd like to sum this up.

The problem comes when we create a bridge with an IPv6 but without assigning
any ports to it.

What happens then is that DAD is triggered and ifupdown fails to bring the
interface up as DAD times out.

Waiting for DAD... Timed out
ifup: failed to bring up br1

We can just sugest to set dad-attempts to 0 when using bridges without
ports, but maybe that's not a good thing as the bridge can have the ports
attached later and DAD would be needed then.

Other than that, all I can think of is fixing it on ifupdown by not failing
on DAD timeout or even not doing DAD at all if the interface is a bridge
without ports, but maybe that is too complicated.

I'll be around with an eye on the bug, in case you need help or want to
discuss anything just cc me.

Regards...
