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.
Unfortunately I can't run virtual machines without the bridging (why I
was using it in the first place).
Any thoughts anyone?
