netcfg - static eth0 / wlan0 configuration

Hi all,

I am trying to setup a home router with Arch Linux and having some difficulty with network profiles.

eth0 and wlan0 are for my LAN and will be part of the bridge br0
eth1 is the external interface which uses DHCP to get an IP from the cable modem / FIOS box etc.

My problem is, I cannot seem to set the IP address for either wlan0 or eth0.

My configuration looks like:
CONNECTION='ethernet'
DESCRIPTION='internal WLAN'
INTERFACE='wlan0'
IP='static'
ADDR='192.168.2.2'
DNS='127.0.0.1'


I configured it as ethernet because I will use hostapd to serve out wireless from that interface.


What else am I missing?  The ip address is never set and the interface is not brought up.

A few years ago I had a Gentoo-based home router with such a bridge. I think I remember setting the IP on the bridge br0; you may want to look into that.

I will give that a try, but as far as why the interfaces eth0 and wlan0 are not being set, that appears to be a different problem altogether.
