and there's also a load of other things that are missing, such as:

 bridge_ports eth0
 bridge_stp off
 bridge_fd 1
 bridge_hello 2
 bridge_maxage 12

Are those settings that don't apply to any interface?

[igalic]

nope, they apply when you're creating a bridge.

igalic, I guess that gateway is meant to be set by network_route (even if it's not that easy to spot in a "classic" debian installation)

[jcharaoui]

I agree that gateway should really be supported.

[iwinux]

+1 for gateway

[igalic]

this can now be closed, it's fully supported through options => { }
