Can't bind IP to my bridge at boot time

[Noah K Sematimba]

probably sysctl gets initialised too early pn in the boot process. How
about simply writing a small shell script call it sysctl.sh and it has
this command in it. Put it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d and see if it works.

I do not have 5.0 but I hope what i am saying actually makes sense.
