Still no luck for me I'm afraid.
Just setting auto eth0 etc.. didn't work - the init script complained
there wasn't enough conifg info, so I tried the following:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto mybridge
iface mybridge inet dhcp
pre-up ifconfig eth0 down
pre-up ifconfig eth1 down
pre-up brctl addbr mybridge
pre-up brctl addif mybridge eth0
pre-up brctl addif mybridge eth1
pre-up ifconfig eth0 up
pre-up ifconfig eth1 up
post-down ifconfig eth0 down
post-down ifconfig eth1 down
post-down brctl delbr mybridge
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet manual

I tried this conf too:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto mybridge
iface mybridge inet dhcp
bridge-ports eth0 eth1
That complains there's no eth0 or eth1..etc.
Any suggestions?? Am I being stupid?
Cheers!
John.
