[Bug 692647] [NEW] Network bridge does not come up upon boot

[Peter Matulis]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bridge-utils

On a fresh (vmbuilder) install of Maverick (server 64-bit) I cannot get
a vanilla bridge to come up upon boot using the standard configuration
method (via /etc/network/interfaces [1]). A manual restart of the
networking service gets it to work:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

I have resorted to putting the above command in /etc/rc.local and that
works for now.  I would, however, also need to start any network-
required services there as well.

I mentioned this issue in bug #687631 but this is a more basic issue and
it requires a bug of it's own.
