I don't see any mechanism in there that will bring up an interface or add it to a bridge, nor bring up the bridge. As I said, I already have something working using `manual`. It looks like: allow-hotplug usb0 iface usb0 inet manual post-up brctl addif br0 $IFACE; ifconfig $IFACE up pre-down ifconfig $IFACE down; brctl delif br0 $IFACE and I think I can fairly easily spice it up to bring `br0` up on demand (tho creating `br0` eagerly is fine as well. The "ondemand" part is mostly about the need to re-start the DHCP client when `usb0` gets added to `br0`). But what I'm looking for is a way to do that without writing it as a script (IOW a more declarative way to do it). Stefan
