It appears the lag of a few seconds is enough to prevent other network-
required services from starting.  I have tried with openvpn and
dhcp3-server.  So I need to resort to the same rc.local [1] I had when
the bridge wasn't coming up at all pre-Lucid.  I have tested this on
Maverick only.

[1]:

ifconfig eth0 up
brctl addbr br0
brctl addif br0 eth0
ifconfig br0 up
ip address add 10.153.107.61/24 brd + dev br0
ip route add default via 10.153.107.1 

service openvpn restart

** Changed in: bridge-utils (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => New

** Summary changed:

- Network bridge does not come up upon boot
+ Network bridge too slow to come up upon boot - affecting other services

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: bridge-utils
  
- On a fresh (vmbuilder) install of Maverick (server 64-bit) I cannot get
- a vanilla bridge to come up upon boot using the standard configuration
- method (via /etc/network/interfaces [1]). A manual restart of the
- networking service gets it to work:
- 
- $ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
- 
- I have resorted to putting the above command in /etc/rc.local and that
- works for now.  I would, however, also need to start any network-
- required services there as well.
- 
- I mentioned this issue in bug #687631 but this is a more basic issue and
- it requires a bug of it's own.
