Bug 62191 – Missing "bridge" dependency in net.eth0 script

• Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 65153
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Kent B. Hansen 2004-08-30 00:58:06 UTC]

The /etc/init.d/net.eth0 should use/depend on the 'bridge' script as well.

Problem:
If you use the /etc/conf.d/bridge script from the bridge-utils package to setup a bridge, and want to give this bridge an IP-adress (by linking net.br0 (or whatever it's named) to net.eth0 and adding this to the runlevel), this 'bridge' script MUST be run prior to the 'net.br0' script.

Solution:
Change net.eth0 from:
depend() {
        use hotplug pcmcia
}

to:
depend() {
        use hotplug pcmcia bridge
}


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup a bridge named "br0"
2. Give it an IP-adresse by linking net.br0 to net.eth0
Actual Results:  
The net.br0 fails since the br0 device doesn't exists until the bridge-script is
run.

Expected Results:  
Run the bridge script before the net-script is run.
