Re: [PATCH 0/6] Bridging support v2

[Pavel Simerda <psimerda redhat com>]

I'm afraid it didn't work for me:

I tested git://git.engineering.redhat.com/users/tgraf/NetworkManager-tgraf.git bridge (commit 36792bf). I have
a working bridge named Bridge in NM and wan2 in kernel. I'm trying to add an interface to it in several ways:

1) the keyfile way

Slave:

[connection]
id=Slave
uuid=2e1906b1-92a4-4206-b2d3-eecfd07241e9
type=802-3-ethernet

[802-3-ethernet]
mac-address=52:54:00:8e:93:da
slave-type=bridge
master=Bridge

2) the ifcfg way with connection name

UUID=2e1906b1-92a4-4206-b2d3-eecfd07241e9
TYPE=Ethernet
HWADDR=52:54:00:8e:93:da
BRIDGE=Bridge

3) the ifcfg way with device name

UUID=2e1906b1-92a4-4206-b2d3-eecfd07241e9
TYPE=Ethernet
HWADDR=52:54:00:8e:93:da
BRIDGE=wan2

==

The only interesting message in the debug is:

NetworkManager[31436]: <warn> error monitoring device for netlink events: error processing netlink message: Object busy

Otherwise all configurations lead to just normal DHCP setup. The bridge is setup properly and up but the slave device is
*not* added.

A single working configuration example to start with would be fine. It doesn't matter so much if
it's based on ifcfg or keyfile but it should not require any other action then (1) creating and
editing configuration files and (2) starting NetworkManager.

Cheers,
