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

[Stéphane Graber]

I can't seem to reproduce your issue.
The worst I could get is my system hanging for 60s because one of the network scripts exitted with a non-zero return code (as the bridge was created by udev), the end result is fine though.

I'll fix the bridge script to just continue when the script already
exists, that issue should be limited to 12.04 though as before that
ifupdown would ignore errors from interface scripts.

  I don't have network instead.
