Description:
There are problems creating a bridge with bonded interfaces using rc.conf.
In the /etc/rc.d/network script, the bridge is created before the bonded interface.
This results in an error and as a result, the bonded interface is not added to the bridge.

I also noticed when the network is stopped, the interfaces added to the bonded interfaces are not removed.

A patch is attached that corrects this issue.


Additional info:
* Package: initscripts-2008.05-1


Steps to reproduce:
---------- /etc/rc.conf
MODULES=(bonding)
eth0="eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc"
eth1="eth1 0.0.0.0 promisc"
bond_bond0="eth0 eth1"
BOND_INTERFACES=(bond0)
bond0="bond0 0.0.0.0 promisc"
INTERFACES=(eth0 eth1 bond0 br0)
br0="br0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
bridge_br0=(bond0)
BRIDGE_INTERFACES=(br0)

reboot computer (which will run /etc/rc.d/network start)

Also adding to Dan McGee that is the maintainer of "ifenslave" pkg and is related with this task.

This seems pretty sane to me and only deals with the bond stuff, so shouldn't be of much risk to anyone else. Thomas, do you want to push this in?
