Re-2: [Voyage-linux] bridging interfaces

[Andrew Niemantsverdriet]

My only guess is that something has changed in voyage-0.3pre2 it works in
voyage-0.2. I have not had time to play much with voyage-0.3. I know that
interfaces file works on ubuntu 6.04 so I imagine that it works on
voyage-0.3 but again not tested. Somebody who has used voyage-0.3 would be
better qualified to answer you I think.
