It looks like this used to be handled by the pre-netifd /lib/network/config.sh: https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/trunk/package/base-files-network/files/lib/network/config.sh?rev=31979#L204 See line 232, where the bridge interface, when initially created, would be given the MAC address of its first member interface. That change was introduced in r26990: https://dev.openwrt.org/changeset/26990 That would render the new (Linux kernel default) behavior of always making a bridge interface use the lowest MAC address of any member interface a regression introduced with the netifd change. _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
