[Bug 1003656] Re: when adding a bond the bridge fails to acquire a dhcp address

[andrew bezella]

sorry, on closer inspection the interfaces.utf8 file has some non-
printing characters.  an interfaces file with no leading spaces still
fails (attached).  so, despite that red herring, i think the root
problem remains.  i'm presently unsure why the utf version of the file
works.  it doesn't seem to be simply ignoring the lines with the extra
leading characters, because when i grep those lines out of the
interfaces file and reboot the result is just an eth0 and eth1.  it's
also worth noting this is only a problem at boot-time.  issuing an
ifdown/ifup br0 once the system has killed off bridge-network-interface
gives a working network.
