What kind of weird things?
I just finally got several boxes upgraded from 5.3 to 5.7 and so far have not seen anything odd.
I have the following config for a vlan interface: DEVICE=eth0.6 BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet VLAN=yes BRIDGE=vlanbr6
and a bridge: DEVICE=vlanbr6 BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Bridge STP=off NM_CONTROLLED=no
On Centos 5.6 this works as expected. On Centos 5.7 this also works but also outputs "RTNETLINK answers: No such device".
It seems the script is not broken but the code path executed is now very different (due to the missing "exec" call in the script). As a result the script at the end does a "ip route replace" on the bridge which apparently doesn't work. In the old version this code also exists but never gets run because the execution of "ifup-eth" ends with the "exec" line.
