Public bug reported:
Followed the Bridging guide verbatim at
https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/serverguide/network-configuration.html did not
create a working bridged network:
sudo apt-get -y install bridge-utils
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
#START
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
address 192.168.1.12
network 192.168.1.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
bridge_ports eth0 wlan0
bridge_fd 9
bridge_hello 2
bridge_maxage 12
bridge_stp off
#END
sudo ifup br0
The 192.168.1.12 IP address was not consumed by another device at the
time of attempting this. This is preventing me from instituting a wired
> wireless USB dongle > WAP environment.
