[Bug 919068] Re: bridge_ports all doesn't work at boot time

[Chistophe S]

We had similar network problem (and slow boot) with a virtual bridge. It
appeared the culprit was a somehow misonfigured ebtables package. The
following command solved it:

 $ dpkg-reconfigure ebtables

debian stable amd64
bridge-utils 1.4-5
ebtables 2.0.9.2-2

  I don't have network instead.
