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... -- Manty/BestiaTester -> http://manty.net
