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

[George F]

Not sure if this is the perfect solution, but I had the exact same
problem. But I got my bridged network to work as follows:

Before hand I did:
- Installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 11.10
- Installed the latest version of bridge-utils (1.5-2ubuntu1.1)
- modified /etc/network/interfaces with bridged network settings
- Rebooted but could not get a network connection.

Than I just
- Removed bridge-utils 1.5-2ubuntu1.1
- reset /etc/network/interfaces back to its default
- Manually installed bridge-utils 1.5-2ubuntu1 from the website UbuntuUpdates.org
- recreated the bridge network settings in /etc/network/interfaces
- Rebooted and this time it worked perfectly and I could go on the net.

So long story short bridge-utils 1.5-2ubuntu1.1 has a bug that bridge-
utils 1.5-2ubuntu1 does not, BUT I am sure everyone knows that
already.... :)
