http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo ----- Original Message ----- From: "Manfred Schuler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I defined the interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces <snip> Then I declared the bridge and removed the interfaces auto br0 iface br0 inet static address 192.168.1.254 network 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1 bridge_ports eth1 wlan0 now when booting I get the error message Don't seem to be have all the variables for br0/inet. I then found a mail regarding the netmask parameter and changed it to masklen 24 but nothing changed. <snip> OK I think there are two different problems here. One you already found yourself you need to use masklen. More precisely your interface file sould look like: auto br0 iface br0 inet static address 192.168.1.254 masklen 24 broadcast 192.168.1.255 bridge_ports eth1 wlan0
(Remove the network statement, useless for 2.4 kernels, use masklen instead of netmask and I am not sure you really need gateway) The second problem is a Bering bridge.lrp bug. When you install bridge.lrp it unload a "bridge" script in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d directory. Whatever script is in this directory will be executed to begin with, before the interfaces are brought up. Now if you look at what is inside this scipt, you will notice these lines: <snip> for i in $INTERFACES do brctl addif $IFACE $i && ifconfig $i 0.0.0.0 up done <snip> The problem is there: Bering does not provide ifconfig any more (it used to be the case in earlier version) and I forgot to change that rarely used script. So either install ifconfig.lrp or replace the ifconfig by its ip equivalent. To be honest I do not know the meaning of this ifconfig $i 0.0.0.0 up. Any idea from the list ? (I would have rather said something like ifconfig eth1 promisc) Thanks for spotting the bug. Let me know if it fixes your problem.
