Uberlord: no, it's another bug [3:57pm] Uberlord: edit the bridge module [3:58pm] Uberlord: look for bridge_pre_start [3:58pm] Uberlord: look for the eval ports line [3:58pm] Uberlord: add the following bit after ${ifvar} [3:58pm] Uberlord: \[@\] [3:58pm] Uberlord: that should fix it It does.... but it breaks other stuff. :( This commenting which we made yesterday: # if ! interface_exists ${iface} ; then # if ! /sbin/modprobe ${iface} &>/dev/null ; then # eerror "${iface} does not exist" # return 1 # fi # else # # There may be existing ip address info - so we strip it # interface_del_addresses ${iface} # fi if ! interface_exists ${iface} ; then /sbin/modprobe ${iface} &>/dev/null fi of course removes the fix to bug 77111. This is demonstrated in the first part of the attachment which follows. As far as bridging is concerned it doesn't seem to be all quite there - the bridge claims to come up at boot-up, but I can't shell into the box at all unless I restart interfaces. You'll see I added an extra card to the machine so that I could shell in on eth0 & experiment with bridging eth1 & eth2, but eth1 wouldn't talk to me until I'd restarted br0 manually. Arrrg! When the bridge is activated, no wireless stuff is working at all on eth2. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Created attachment 48821 [details] Diagnostic output demonstrating the above.
