(Sun)VirtualBox with Bridge under RedHat-Linux
As I tested VirtualBox or Sun VirtualBox on Fedora 8, RHEL 5, RHEL 5 update2. I found that bridge device named "br0" would NOT work properly with Fedora 8 and RHEL 5 update 2.
The order of interfaces coming up is the cause of this issue. I noticed that "br0" would be bringed up before any one of its slaves. I had check with a bridge device named "ethbr0", all works done.
Try not to follow the name br0 from the official manual, change it to "ethbr0" or some thing else. If you are work under F8/RHEL 5 updates...
This will be posted to RHEL and Sun... :em11:
