hi, the default network-bridge renames network interfaces and often confuse people. this patch changes the network-bridge schema to: # start: # Creates the bridge # Copies the IP and MAC addresses from netdev to bridge # Enslaves netdev to bridge # # stop: # Removes netdev from the bridge # Transfers addresses, routes from bridge to netdev # Deletes bridge No rename will be performed. Eg. # brctl show bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces xenbr0 8000.000e0cd85dfe no eth0 IP/route will be transfered to xenbr0 at start. I also add a extra script network-bridges to perform on all ethernet cards. and network-dummy if user doesn't want to xend to manage dom0 networking. This patch obsolete my last patch, titled: [PATCH]Fix network-bridge ifup problem. CC to Daniel for comments. Signed-off-by: Zhigang Wang thanks, zhigang
