Hello, After upgrading my kernel to 2.6.39 (I also tested with 3.0.0-rc4), my bridge interface with only TAP interfaces is always down (the flag is NO_CARRIER and operational state is DOWN) despite it was working well with previous versions of the kernel (the state was LOWER_UP and operational state was UNKNOWN). Before, running the following commands was enough to activate the bridge interface: 1. brctl addbr br0 2. ip link set br0 up Only by attaching a real network interface (such as eth0) to the bridge, it finally works well but I would like to be able to not only use real network interfaces. Any idea? Many thanks in advance.
