Another poster suggested taking network-bridge out of the equation which
I really also recommend on any Debian based system.
I also recommend adding :
bridge_fd 0
bridge_maxwait 0
bridge_helo 0
.. just prior to :
bridge_ports
To specifically tell the bridge that you don't want a forward delay or
wait. I'm not sure what brctl's defaults are so I always specify it.
Probably also good practice to implicitly turn off stp, too.
However, this also means that your system will always start with a
promiscuous bridge as its primary network device. If this isn't a full
time Xen machine with a Ft Knox 'ghost town' dom-0, you may want
network-bridge to work.
If you post the contents of your /etc/network/interfaces, I think the
list could help you quickly. There seems to be nothing wrong with
anything you posted so far (that I saw), so if there is an obvious issue
its going to be in interfaces.
Otherwise, its probably easier to just let Debian handle the bridging.
Best,
