Description
If you're running restart on a bridge interface which gets it's configuration via DHCP, it takes a long time (60-90 secs) until everything works again.
If just the dhcp-process is restarted it takes ~2 seconds.
Please provide a release or reload option for network interfaces.

What does this mean, the net.* scripts have been deprecated? What should be used now instead of a net.* script?
I don't really understand this.
I'm currently working around by doing something similar, I wrote a tiny script which seeks the dhclient running on br0 and restarts this dhclient.
But I'll give dhcpcd-4.99 a try.

Replying to mail@…:

I don't really understand this.
In SVN there is a new script called network which is very very simple.
It doesn't know anything about bridges or dhcp. Just ifconfig (and ip address).
I'm currently working around by doing something similar, I wrote a tiny script which seeks the dhclient running on br0 and restarts this dhclient.
But I'll give dhcpcd-4.99 a try.
dhcpcd-4.99 can now be launched as an init script and will configure all available interfaces.
It can be instructed to rebind a specific interface at any point after launching.
The net.* scripts have been deprecated.
You can do what you want by using the dhcpcd-4.99 DHCP client.
dhcpcd -n br0
Would instruct dhcpcd to rebind on br0.
