Philippe,

Could you confirm exactly which up to date version of accessgrid3.2 is  
installed please? It will be something like 3.2-1, 3.2-2, ...

I've been trying but, since the last release, can no longer replicate  
the problem (thats why I asked _exactly_ which version are you using).

One other possible factor I've noticed while doing various tests, is  
that NetworkManager on Ubuntu modifies /etc/hosts at each boot (maybe  
even more often?) and this can make the bridge invisible. Could you  
send the contents of /etc/hosts at the time the bridge becomes  
invisible?
