Bug 102978 – bridge is not perfect

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Patrizio Bassi 2005-08-18 07:43:42 UTC]

i'm using bridge with lastest -pre5 baseyout. 
 
get 2 problems: 
1)device eth0 entered promiscuous mode 
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:09.0[A] -> Link [LNKD] -> GSI 9 (level, low) -> IRQ 9 
eth0: Setting promiscuous mode. 
eth0: Setting promiscuous mode. 
eth0: Setting promiscuous mode. 
eth0: Setting promiscuous mode. 
eth0: Setting promiscuous mode. 
device eth1 entered promiscuous mode 
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0d.0[A] -> Link [LNKD] -> GSI 9 (level, low) -> IRQ 9 
eth1: Setting promiscuous mode. 
eth1: Setting promiscuous mode. 
eth1: Setting promiscuous mode. 
eth1: Setting promiscuous mode. 
eth1: Setting promiscuous mode. 
 
promiscuos mode asked 5 times per eth interface. 
i'm not sure it's kernel driver or bridge asks 5 times that. 
 
2) sure of this: 
when halting the system i get eth0, eth1 stopped, bridge interface too, but it says that eth0 
interface doesn't exists (of course...it has been stopped previously). 
 
suggestion: stop bridge service before stopping eth or add a check for running eth interfaces.

We only set promiscous mode once per bridge port, so it's likely a driver issue
as my dmesg only shows promiscous being set once.

As to the ordering issue, you need to have a depend function in conf.d/net like so

depend_br0() {
   need net.eth0 net.eth1
}
