I'm trying to bring a bridge containing a tap interface bridged onto an ethernet interface up at boot time, and cannot work out how to make br0 depend on tap0 being up in /etc/conf.d/net please see the following URL for my attempts http://www.splurby.net/~dunc/conf.d_net.txt
Config A and B look good but need RC_NEED_br0="net.tap0 net.eth1" To fix config B error, edit /lib/rcscripts/net/tuntap.sh and edit line 20 to read before bridge interface macchanger Please report back on this. baselayout-1.13.0_alpha4 should fix the config A error, or at least I hope it does. As it's alpha, it probably has other nasty bugs so if you do try it, just report on this exact issue only. Thanks
Fixed in baselayout-1.12.6
Hi Roy, Sorry I wasn't around to help test this, hopefully am around a bit more now. This does indeed solve the problem of getting the devices added to the bridge OK, excellent stuff. It doesn't set br0 as UP though, I was expecting config_br0=( "null") to do that too in the same manner as it does with eth1 Am I missing something? Cheers, Dunc
(In reply to comment #3) > It doesn't set br0 as UP though, I was expecting config_br0=( "null") to do > that too in the same manner as it does with eth1 No, it doesn't set it up in 1.12 It does in 1.13 though.
