Hi, playing with bridging a couple of ethernet interfaces and a wlan 
interface

I observe that this config works as expected:

 bridge_br0="eth1 eth2 wlan0"

The bridge starts fine and if for some reason I run "/etc/init.d/wlan0 
restart" then there are no errors.

However, this causes an error when I restart wlan0:

 bridge_br0="eth1 eth2"
 bridge_add_wlan0="br0"

It works fine the first time, but the second restart I get:

$ /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart
* Bringing down interface wlan0
* Bringing up interface wlan0
*   Adding ports to br0
*     wlan0...ip: either "dev" is duplicate, or "promisc" is garbage
brctl: bridge br0: Device or resource busy
ip: either "dev" is duplicate, or "promisc" is garbage
[ !! ]
* ERROR: net.wlan0 failed to start


This seems to correspond with the first time wlan0 is not yet part of 
the bridge, when I bring down wlan0 (or ethX) then these interfaces are 
not removed from the bridge, when I bring back up ethX then there is no 
error, but with wlanX it seems to cause this error if the port is 
already part of the bridge.

If I then remove wlan0 from the bridge (manually) then wlan0 restarts 
one more time

Will work through the code, but I guess that it currently checks if 
certain devices are already part of the bridge before adding them, but 
not necessarily for wlanX devices?
