The bridge module doesn't gets loaded on my system, altrough I have defined some bridges in /etc/conf.d/net. If I force loading of the module, the following error is displayed: missing required function interface_down How to fix this issue? Don't want to write custom up scripts for net. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. just force the bridge mod to load (probably the bug is only on my OS and is here because an emerge --update didn't update a file?) 2. 3.

Stop forcing modules, ensure that bridging support is enabled in your kernel, emerge bridge-utils and you should be good to go. If that still fails, attach your conf.d/net file to this bug and re-open.
Created attachment 70048 [details] /etc/conf.d/net
Created attachment 70050 [details] This is what i'm actually trying to get This script works instead of the not-working net for now.
All the required packages & kernel bridge support is active, because brctl actually exists and works, but not with the netscripts :) As you asked, file attached. Reopening bug.

Hmmmmm. This may only work with code I've just committed to our svn repo - you may have to wait for baselayout-1.12.0_pre9. Re-Open if so
