Problem with eth1

[FuriousGeorge]

My networking settings are as follows:

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]# network interface settings[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]auto lo[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]iface lo inet loopback[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]iface eth0 inet manual[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]iface eth1 inet manual[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]auto vmbr0[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]iface vmbr0 inet static[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]   address  192.1.1.10[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]   netmask  255.255.255.0[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]   gateway  192.1.1.254[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]   bridge_ports eth0[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]   bridge_stp off[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]   bridge_fd 0[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]auto vmbr1[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]iface vmbr1 inet manual[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]   bridge_ports eth1[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]   bridge_stp off[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]   bridge_fd 0[/FONT][/COLOR]

Then I installed a pfSense node, and while everything was working fin on the LAN interface (eth0), I wasn't able to get an IP address from my modem on the WAN interface (eth1).

I switched the vmbr assignments, and switched the cables, and the problem seemed to follow the interface, i.e. now my LAN interface was inaccessible.

I can't figure out what might be wrong, and I have a feeling there is something simple going on which I'm failing to see.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
perhaps something wrong with the device-naming?
Post the output of following commands, please.

ifconfig -a
dmesg | grep eth
cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

Try to use 'static' , 'dhcp' or add pre-up. With 'manual' linux do nothing at startup.
