if I try to bring br0 up and it fails due to timeouts say, the interface is still up, I then have to ifconfig br0 down and brctl delbr br0 to stop it completely. it would be nice is /etc/init.d/net.br0 zap ( or even better if it fails to come up with no other action required ) would do me the favor of completely destroying the interface. so I can then start another one without problems. note if I've got a bridge I was trying to connect to eth0 and then I wanted to bring it up without the bridge and br0 still exists, it won't be able to come up. Reproducible: Always
Hi, I bounced your idea to upstream dev, but it isn't really possible. 12:53 <@rsmarples> darkside_: nice idea, but far to difficult for any gain involved 12:53 <@rsmarples> consider wireless + dhcp - if dhcp fails should it kill the working wireless link? 12:53 < darkside_> yea, makes sense. i'll close the bug then 12:54 <@rsmarples> admittedly it's moot with dhcpcd as it then "succeds" with IPv4LL, but the argument is still sound
