Bug Description

Binary package hint: bridge-utils

$ ls -l /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/bridge
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 2009-07-25 08:04 /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/bridge -> /usr/share/bridge-utils/ifupdown.sh

If /usr is a separate partition (on NFS, but possibly otherwise), it won't be mounted when the kernel initializes a network interface. In this case, /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/bridge then becomes a dangling symlink and the ifupdown script not run. wpasupplicant had a similar problem and solved this by putting its if-pre-up.d file in /etc.

This bug was fixed in the package bridge-utils - 1.5-2ubuntu1

---------------
bridge-utils (1.5-2ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #483427, LP: #377474). Remaining changes:
    - Add an upstart job which triggers on each net-device-added event, to
      see whether we need to add this to a bridge.
  * Changes merged in Debian:
    - debian/rules, debian/bridge-utils.sh, debian/dirs, debian/ifupdown.sh:
      factor out the parsing of bridge_ports into a reusable shell library.
  * Replace the upstart job with a udev rule instead; thanks to Manty for
    the suggestion.

bridge-utils (1.5-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Include Ubuntu's patch to factor out parsing of bridge_ports into
    a reusable shell library.
