    • Funtoo users who want to create a bridge with a static IP will have to take other actions to ensure that hosts on that bridge are actually accessible, by bringing up the relevant device(s). The system should do this automagically.

      A single-line change is needed, to first bring up the slave interfaces and then add them to the bridge.  The `bridge-dhcp` script already contains the necessary instruction, so isn't affected.
