Package: bridge-utils
Version: 1.5-3
Followup-For: Bug #673490

I have another concern with bridge-network-interface. When I rebooted my
system today, suddenly name resolution didn't work. /etc/resolv.conf was
empty.

        auto br0
        iface br0 inet dhcp
                up ip route add 172.16.2.0/24 via 172.16.1.208
                down ip route del 172.16.2.0/24 via 172.16.1.208
                dns-search lan.metrics.net dmz.metrics.net
                bridge_ports lan
                bridge_stp off
                bridge_fd 2
                bridge_maxwait 20

(More ports get added later for kvm vhosts)

I use resolvconf, which should have filled that stuff in. But the boot
order goes udev -> local fs -> resolvconf -> networking, and the
resolvconf init script clears all the resolvconf info. Shouldn't be a
problem, as resolvconf does this before interfaces are brought up.

Well, or at least it is supposed to be. But instead the udev rule
brought up the interface, way too early in the boot process.

I fixed it by changing '--allow auto' to '--allow hotplug' in
bridge-network-interface. (I have no idea how, or if, resolvconf works
with non-bridge hotplug interfaces...)
