Hi, on a machine with a ppp (ADSL) connection my atm_over_ethernet bride always dies when started during boot.
I first tried to start it (after boot) via /etc/init.d/net.nas0 restart which reliably shows the same effect. 4 # /etc/init.d/net.nas0 restart * Bringing up interface nas0 * Starting RFC 2684 Bridge control on nas0 * start-stop-daemon: caught an interrupt * start-stop-daemon: /usr/sbin/br2684ctl died [ !! ] * ERROR: net.nas0 failed to start But then I do it in two steps /etc/init.d/net.nas0 stop and afterwards /etc/init.d/net.nas0 start which (reliably) works. 5 # /etc/init.d/net.nas0 stop * WARNING: net.nas0 is already stopped 6 # /etc/init.d/net.nas0 start * Bringing up interface nas0 * Starting RFC 2684 Bridge control on nas0 [ ok ] * null ... Needless to say that this has been working for years(!) with baselayout 1.x, and the package net-misc/br2684ctl hasn't changed for a long time. So, what's going on and what to do about it? Shall I make a bug report?
