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.
