Hi, I am using openrc 0.4.2 and trying to setup a bridge for use with
openvpn. Starting the bridge (/etc/init.d/br0 start) doesn't seem to be
correctly bringing up the dependent interfaces (should it?)
When I try and bring up my bridge I get only this:
# /etc/init.d/br0 start
* Bringing up interface br0
* Destroying bridge br0...
* Removing port eth0... [ ok ]
[ ok ]
* Creating bridge br0...
* Adding ports to br0
* eth0... [ ok ]
* tap0...SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device
SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device
interface tap0 does not exist!
SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device
[ !! ]
* ERROR: net.br0 failed to start
then I check:
#ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1b:21:19:09:8d

(Curious eth0 is up... Lets try and stop it)
#/etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop
* WARNING: net.eth0 is already stopped
If I simply start the tap0 and eth0 interfaces deliberately first then
everything runs fine. My understanding though is that the bridge should
bring up dependent interfaces?
Config in /etc/conf.d/net
config_eth0=( "null" )
tuntap_tap0="tap"
config_tap0=( "0.0.0.0 promisc" )
bridge_br0="eth0 tap0"
config_br0=( "192.168.105.4/24" )
routes_br0=( "default via 192.168.105.254" )
# Make the bridge depend on tap0 / eth0
RC_NEED_br0="net.eth0 net.tap0"
Any suggestions on how to fix?
Thanks
Ed W
