To clarify: this is -- at the moment -- only an ethernet-ethernet bridge using "ed"-type boards. Full sources and a precompiled executable are available from my home page http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ Since it is based on netboot, once a card is supported in netboot it will get into the bridge code in next to 0 time. I tried myself to hack the "de" driver but did not complete the work.
