Comment 30 for bug 1003656

Hrm... I had this issue and raised a different bug. I spoke with Stéphane about it on IRC and was asked to try the quantal version of the bridge-utils package. Switching to it solved all of my problems so Stéphane pushed through the same fix to Precise.

I saw the request to try the Precise package, so I added the proposed repo to one of my boxes, but bridge-utils can't have made it there yet?

Therefore I downloaded the binary package by following the link and a few links from that and installed the Precise version of the package, rebooted my box and my bridge didn't manage to dhcp an address again *sigh*

I rebooted again to be sure, still nothing.

I reverted to the Quntal version of the package, rebooted again... still no address on my bridge.

Nothing in /etc/network/interfaces of my own has changed throughout the whole process.

I'm confused... But it seems that there's still some issue. Quite how it worked the other day and now neither version of the package seems to work I don't know.
