You actually only need iproute(2) to create vlans, as vconfig is obsolete anyway. The vlan package should be an empty shim anyway for vlans as ifupdown helps with setting up a predefined type of vlan. > http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/release/current/amd64/list-dvd/ > http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/release/current/amd64/list-cd/ > > This would be great to have for 8.0 and, if possible, for the 7.7 ISOs (both > CD and DVD). > > Not sure if the bridge-utils and/or ebtables packages would be needed as well. If I am correct, most of bridging can be configured using iproute(2) ;-). But yes, I do not think that this is integrated with ifupdown. As far as ebtables go: it is just as important as iptables I guess. -- .signature not found -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
