I set up an ethernet bridge and I can get the bridge to start and stop properly but it will not start when booting even though I have it set in the default runlevel. brctl_br0=( "setfd 0" "sethello 0" "stp off" ) bridge_br0="eth0" config_eth0=( "null" ) bridge_add_eth0="br0" config_br0=( "dhcp" ) dhcpcd_br0="-t 10" depend_br0() { need net.eth0 } rc-update show | grep net: local | battery default nonetwork net.br0 | battery default net.eth0 | battery default net.lo | boot netmount | battery default I have also tried removing net.eth0 from the default runlevel and that works better in linux since it won't leave the eth0 interface up when I stop the bridge but even that doesn't work because the bridge still does not start when booting.

After reading the net.example I saw that dhcp has some problem with dynamically adding the interface. I tried it without that and it looks like it works now finally. I hope this config is correct: bridge_br0="eth0" config_eth0=( "null" ) config_br0=( "dhcp" ) dhcpcd_br0="-t 10" RC_NEED_br0="net.eth0" brctl_br0=( "setfd 0" "sethello 0" "stp off" )
