[Bug 1686058] Re: bridge-utils all-regex does not capture network devices

[Joshua Powers]

Hi! Thanks for looking into this and determining what was going on.

Based on the documentation I agree that it is not capturing enp* network
devices. However, as the man page says you can add a regex if you want
to capture other types of interfaces:

bridge_ports regex enp.*

If you desire to change the behavior of the 'all' wildcard, then I would
suggest filing an upstream bug report to change this behavior. I will
mark this as a wishlist bug.

Title:
  bridge-utils all-regex does not capture network devices

Status in bridge-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  from bridge-utils-interfaces(5)

  bridge-ports
   ...
   Specifying "all" is short for "regex eth.* em.* p[0-9].* noregex" and will get  all  the  ethX  and
   biosdevname-format (emX and pX) interfaces added to the bridge.

  
  This will NOT capture device names like enp* and network init will hang.
