I'm accompanying an affected user and we are focusing on a manual method:
# ip link set dev eth0 down
# brctl addbr br0
# brctl addif br0 eth0
# ip link set dev eth0 up
# ip link set dev br0 up
# ip addr add 10.153.107.142/24 brd + dev br0
# ip route add default via 10.153.107.1
Observations using be2net:
1. Lucid cannot bring up eth0 nor br0.
2. Maverick, Natty, and Oneiric can bring up eth0 and br0 (Live CD; no updates).
3. Precise can bring up eth0 but not br0 (Live CD; no updates).
