Hi,

I created a package called "bridge" which has the if-pre-up.d script
for creating bridges. I rewrote it from scratch because the debian
version was a bit ugly.

This version should support most of the options in debian. Some might
require that you install brctl from bridge-utils.

Example bridge config in /etc/network/interfaces:

iface br0 inet static
	address 192.168.0.1
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	bridge-ports eth0 tap0
	bridge-stp off

The package is in edge/testing.

I was thinking shipping this script and vlan and bonding scripts with
alpine-baselayout. However, those will consume a few kb and generate a
few extra forks every boot up - even if they are unused - so I think it
might make sense to ship them separately.
