+# It is important to include bridge_forward_delay_br0=0 and
+# bridge_hello_time_br0=1000 in the /etc/conf.d/net file in order to bring the
+# bridge interface up quickly. Other values will cause network packets to be
+# dropped for the first 30 seconds after the bridge has become active. This, in
