Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.6.8+nmu1
Trying to follow the information in
/usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/bridge which seems to be incorrect.
There are two samples listed there to use in /etc/network/interfaces:
1.
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.0.0.225
netmask 255.0.0.0
gateway 10.0.0.1
iface br0 inet manual
bridge-ifaces eth0 wlan0
up ifconfig $IFACE up
in this case, when the system boots, no br0 interface is brought up. The
command:
ifup br0
also fails:
sudo ifup br0
br0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
Failed to bring up br0.
2.
Following the alternate configuration mentioned in the document:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.0.0.225
netmask 255.0.0.0
gateway 10.0.0.1
iface br0 inet static
bridge-ifaces eth0 wlan0
address 172.40.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
the problem is identical - no br0 interface after boot, and ifup fails:
sudo ifup br0
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
br0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
br0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
Failed to bring up br0.
