Package: bridge-utils
Version: 1.2-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I found that sometimes (and on some type of machines this tends to
happen quite often) a bridge interface comes up without all its ports
added because when the net script try to add them the underlying
phisical interfaces are not there yet and are detected by the kernel too
late. The resulting system has a bridge configured but the underlying
phisical device is down and unconfigured (while being present, since it
was later on detected).

As a workaround I was able to add a while loop waiting for the device to
show up in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/bridge so that bridge-utils would
wait for the device to show up before adding it...

Would it be possible to add something like that (maybe a bit more
complex, with a configurable timeout) to the default scripts?

Thanks,

Guido
