It does not work. Here is an example:

iface lxc0 inet manual
address 10.42.42.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
bridge_ports none
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0
bridge_maxwait 0

root@hal:~# ifup lxc0
root@hal:~# ifconfig lxc0
lxc0  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr f6:97:98:0f:58:fe  
  adr inet6: fe80::f497:98ff:fe0f:58fe/64 Scope:Lien
  UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
  RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
  TX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
  collisions:0 lg file transmission:0 
  RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:508 (508.0 B)


The only way to get an IP assigned to the bridge is to add the following
directive in the iface declaration:

post-up /sbin/ip addr add 10.42.42.1/24 dev lxc0

This is a really annoying bug I come across very often.

man bridge-utils-interfaces

   bridge_ports interface specification
  this option must exist for the scripts to setup the 
bridge, with it you  specify  the  ports  you
  want  to  add  to your bridge, either using none if you 
want a bridge without any interfaces or
  you want to add them later using brctl, or a list of the 
interfaces you want to add separated  by

  spaces, for example:
  bridge_ports eth0 eth4

I'm using bridge utils from wheezy, version 1.5-6
You may using another version

Regards

It does not work. Here is an example:

iface lxc0 inet manual


- inet static
(you may also want to add auto lxc0)

ifup will add nothing if the iface is not in /sys/class/net/
