--- Comment #4 from Henryk Paluch <hpal...@seznam.cz> --- (In reply to Henryk Paluch from comment #3) Addendum: I was partially wrong: there is LINK_UP event (I was wrong) but not "media-type" (I was right). I verified following workaround: My minimal bridge definition in /etc/rc.conf ifconfig_vtnet2="up" ifconfig_bridge2="DHCP addm vtnet2" cloned_interfaces="bridge2" My new devd configuration file /etc/devd/hpbridge.conf with contents: # kludge to make DHCP works on bridge (it has no media-type) # notify 0 { match "system" "IFNET"; match "type" "LINK_UP"; match "subsystem" "bridge2"; action "service dhclient quietstart $subsystem"; }; With this devd configuration DHCP client starts properly and bridge gets assigned IP address: $ ifconfig -u bridge2 bridge2: flags=1008843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,LOWER_UP> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=10<VLAN_HWTAGGING> ether 58:9c:fc:10:de:3b inet 192.168.123.218 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.123.255 id 00:00:00:00:00:00 priority 32768 hellotime 2 fwddelay 15 maxage 20 holdcnt 6 proto rstp maxaddr 2000 timeout 1200 root id 00:00:00:00:00:00 priority 32768 ifcost 0 port 0 bridge flags=0<> member: vtnet2 flags=143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP> port 3 priority 128 path cost 2000 vlan protocol 802.1q groups: bridge nd6 options=9<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED> $ ps ax | grep 'dhclient: bridge' | fgrep -v grep 1838 - Is 0:00.00 dhclient: bridge2 [priv] (dhclient) 1862 - ICs 0:00.00 dhclient: bridge2 (dhclient) So now the question is - how could we filter LINK_UP just for bridges - to have dedicated rule for them? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
