Well i dont know much about the version you are using but on gentoo,
www.gentoo.org
i made my own rc script to setup and take down the bridge on startup and
shutdown.
maybe you could use this.
#!/sbin/runscript
#Created by Chris Ellsworth 6/10/2002
depend() {
need net
}
start() {
ebegin "Starting Bridge"
brctl addbr $bridge_name
brctl addif $bridge_name $nic1
brctl addif $bridge_name $nic2
brctl stp $bridge_name off
ifconfig $bridge_name up
eend $?
}
stop() {
ebegin "Stopping Bridge"
ifconfig $bridge_name down
brctl delif $bridge_name $nic1
brctl delif $bridge_name $nic2
brctl delbr $bridge_name
eend $?
}
and ____________----------------------
# this config file sets varables for a bridge between two network
# cards
# developed on 4-12-2002
bridge_name="brint_ext"
nic1="eth2"
nic2="eth0"
