Description kfm 2012-11-30 13:20:08 UTC
The following example from the handbook is problematic on two counts:

brctl_br0="setfd 0" "sethello 0" "stp off"

Firstly, the syntax is invalid. It should be as follows:

brctl_br0="setfd 0
sethello 0
stp off"

Secondly, sethello must use a parameter greater than zero nowadays:

# brctl sethello br0 0
set hello timer failed: Numerical result out of range

I would suggest changing the example to use a value of 2 (seconds) instead because that matches net.example in openrc.

Thanks, and sorry for the late feedback. Fixed in CVS, should show up on the site in an hour or so.
