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?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.
