For some reason my network card bridging has failed after working
properly for many years.
My /etc/network/interfaces is:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet manual
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
address 192.168.1.14
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
bridge_ports eth0
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0
bridge_maxwait 0
From a fresh boot, I get nothing running. If I bring up br0
(ifconfig br0 up), it comes up with 192.168.122.1 whether I do it
with eth0 up or down. Bringing up eth0 seems to produce the correct
results - a network interface with no IP, same as it always did.
Bringing up br0 with the 192.168.1.14 address leaves me with a
machine that can't connect or be connected to. However, if I drop
br0 and bring up eth0 with the address, things work, apart from the
lack of a gateway.
I can manually add a default gateway to the route. While this works,
running the route command takes a long time to come back with the
results. However my computer now connects and can be connected to.
Hm.. I don't see "auto eth0" anywhere....
