I'm trying to get bridging working with the testing baselayout as it simplifies the setup dramatically. I've set up br0 in /etc/conf./net to use eth0 and eth2 and I start net.br0.
It looks like the bridge is up using ifconfig and brctl but closer inspection shows that eth[02] are not up. Just running "ifconfig eth[02] up" brings everything to life. I can't find any documentation or anything in bugzilla, the forums or mail archives to tell me what I have missed in my setup. Can someone who knows please enlighten me.
I suspect that init.d/bridge is redundant with the new net script. I can't tell if I need net.eth[02] to be started as well or if I just haven't configured the bridge properly.
