Hi,
to create a bridge on Fedora and Debian systems, it's possible to use brctl (who work in both), but it's not persistent. So, to create a persistent bridge, files must be create in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts on Fedora and /etc/network/interfaces on debian based.
Does not exist a tool that handle this issues? If not, how kimchi are dealing when working with this differences between distros?
Today, AFAIK, Kimchi does not deal with creating vlan and bridges and so on. What kimchi does is check if they exist. This is done by reading and parsing /sys/class/net files, which I believe are the same across distros. But don't take only my work for it - check out /plugins/kimchi/netinfo.py and see by yourself. As for "Does not exist a tool that handle this issues ", I believe this is a question that the network guys from Ginger can answer. I'll let them come here and answer ...... but I can say in advance that this kind of operation will be done in Ginger via ifup and ifdown scripts and parsing of the network config files. We considered using Network Manager to help us with these tasks, but decided not to because we can't enforce the user to have NManager installed. Hope it helps, Daniel
