Description Bjarke Istrup Pedersen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-27 12:06:36 UTC
When I create a bridge, it gets created correctly, and get an IP address 
assigned, but it stays down.

Here is my config for the bridge:

config_eth1="null"
config_eth2="null"
bridge_lan="eth1 eth2"
config_lan="'192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0'"

I have symlinked net.lan to net.lo, and added it to the default runlevel.

For now I have fixed it by adding a line to local.start, but it really should 
start the bridge.
