I use bridging for openvpn on my amd64 workstation. When I first set this up it all worked fine and there were no problems rebooting. I think a few months back my box would no longer cleanly reboot, I only just made the connection to net.br0 today after talking with UberLord on IRC. By a process of elimination I found out that it is the shutdown of net.br0 or possibly net.tap0/net.eth0 (deps that also don't show up) that was causing my reboot/shutdown to freeze. I have just done a fresh install on new drives and the same problem was present which prompted me to investigate further. My emerge info is below, I will also attach my /etc/conf.d/net file.

Created attachment 112702 [details] /etc/conf.d/net A copy of the offending config file. net.eth0, net.tap0 and net.br0 have always been symlinks to net.lo.
Care to test this with baselayout-2?
