bridge-utils for Debian ----------------------- From ifupdown 0.6.0 we have a really configurable /etc/network/interfaces so from now on one can configure almost anything he wants of the bridge using the Debian standard way of configuring an interface, that is, if you have ifupdown installed. To be able to do that we are providing a couple of links to /usr/share/bridge-utils/ifupdown.sh, one from /etc/network/if-pre-up.d and another from /etc/network/if-post-down.d. Configuration for bridges is much easier this way. Check the manpage for bridge-utils-interfaces(5) to learn how to configure a bridge the easy way using these scripts for ifupdown. Check also the examples if you are planning to hibernate or suspend your machine as this usually breaks the bridge if the power management utilities aren't ready to cope with us. I have added examples for hibernate and pm-utils, if you have other examples or sugestions or need any, contact me. -- Santiago Garcia Mantinan , Sun, 13 Jan 2008 17:47:16 +0100
