User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0 Build Identifier: When the init scripts (net.tap0) attempts to create the tap device (mark it persistent), it succeeds; but fails to configure the IP. However, 2nd a future attempts succeeds (because the 1st attempt created the tap device already and didn't destroy it after it failed.) If the tap device is created beforehand (either manually, or from the previous failure), the script will succeed in configuring the tap device. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Just run the net.tap0 script for the first time, or after deleting it manually (mark it nonpersistent). Scripts are using openvpn to create/destroy the tap device, and iproute2 to configure the interface. Actual Results: net.tap0 fails to configure the interface In addition, a successful stop of net.tap0 does not destroy the tap device (but it does unconfigure the interface) but not for the same reason as bug 154509 (as this is using openvpn, not tunctl). That's why the script works after the first failure - the tap device wasn't destroyed. Expected Results: net.tap0 successfully configures the interface on startup, and properly destroys the tap device on stop.

Created attachment 101841 [details, diff] Bring interfaces up earlier Try this patch please
The patch doesn't work, it still can't configure the interface unless the tap device is created beforehand, and it still doesn't destroy the tap interface on stop. But now when the scripts fails to start it no longer leaves the unconfigured tap device behind (so now it ALWAYS fails when you start it).
This should be fixed in baselayout-1.13.0_alpha11. Re-open if you disagree.
