I just did a fresh install and update of Ubuntu Server 8.04.
Following the server documentation, I'm changing my network config so
I can have a bridge interface. The network works fine by default, but
when I change to the following configuration, I get an error:
--------------------------------
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
address 192.168.5.18
network 192.168.0.0
netmask 255.255.248.0
broadcast 192.168.7.255
gateway 192.168.3.1
bridge_ports eth0
bridge_fd 9
bridge_hello 2
bridge_maxage 12
bridge_stp off
--------------------------------
The error I get is a bunch of lines saying:
"br0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device"
and then one final line saying:
"Failed to bring up br0."
Any ideas?
thanks,
James
