[gentoo-user] bridge configuration problem

[Shaochun Wang <scwang@ios.ac.cn>]

Hi All:

I configure my network bridge as following:

/etc/conf.d/net
	# Using Network Bridge
	bridge_br0="eth0"
	config_eth0=( "null" )

	# Finally give the bridge an address - dhcp or a static IP
	config_br0=( "192.168.8.20 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.8.255" )
	routes_br0=( "default gw 192.168.8.1" )

I also have
	$ ls -l /etc/init.d/net.*
	lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     6 Apr 24 13:22 /etc/init.d/net.br0 -> net.lo
	-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 30696 Apr  3 18:27 /etc/init.d/net.lo

Normally, the bridge works well. But everytime I execute
"/etc/init.d/net.br0 restart", the following error occurs:
	 *     network interface br0 does not exist
	 *     Please verify hardware or kernel module (driver)                   [ !! ]
Then I execute such command one more time, it works well.

Does anyone know what's wrong with it?

THX
