So are you suggesting I have no auto br1 or allow-hotplug br1? How
will it start on boot then?

I also tried changing auto eth2 to allow-hotplug eth2, but still nothing.

This is driving me absolutely batty! I've wasted 3 or 4 days now, when
I have projects pilling up that need to get up and running on this
hardware.

Does anyone know just how I can debug the sittuation?? The devices are
abviously attempting to get configured, as they are getting entries
put in /var/run/network/ifstate, however, they are not actually coming
up!

Thanks,
Doug
