Bug 117406 – bridge_add_ in /etc/conf.d/net not being recognised

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Kolbjørn Barmen 2006-01-01 17:04:38 UTC]

I try to use brigde_add_eth0="br0" in /etc/conf.d/net to add eth0 to br0 when "/etc/init.d/net.usb0 start" is run, but this simply does not work.

Using bridge_br0="eth0" does work, ut I also have other interfaces (usb0 to network my zaurus to be presice) that must be added and removed to/from the bridge dynamically, so I really want bridge_add_usb0="br0" to work. And for the record - yes, doing a "brctl addif br0 usb0" does work.

As far as I can tell, the bridge_add_ doesnt do anything at all.

Additional info:
sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.0_pre12
61c8576d901971f6ed9a9f975dce8196  /etc/init.d/net.lo

net.usb0 and net.eth0 are symlinks to net.lo

Pardon, this is a typo, I meant when "/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start" is run.

and net.eth0 is also a symlink to net.lo
