I need some help getting my network bridge to work right.
In FC4, I just added a couple lines to ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1 and
created a ifcfg-br0 file and it'd work, but in FC5, those same steps
aren't working. I don't have a clue how to go about debugging what's
going on (I've tried to look into it, but the number of different files
and programs involved in starting the network is too much for me to handle).
If I follow the tutorial given at
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8172 for setting up a bridge
manually, the bridge will work. It just doesn't work with the
network/init scripts.
I'll be happy to reply with any outputs from programs or configuration
files that any of you would like to see. Here are some files and outputs
I think might be useful.
Thanks for the help,
Justin Willmert
