Workaround is to use brctl show +without arguments, and grep, though this would be difficult were you to need +to check for a specific bridge-interface pair, since brctl does not show the +bridge name on every line. + + +ifup / ifdown +------------- + +SuSE requires an extra parameter to ifup, which is created by calling getcfg +appropriately. See xen-network-common.sh for details. + +Gentoo doesn't have ifup/ifdown; appropriate alternatives are defined in +xen-network-common.sh. + |
