just noticed that if_bridge.ko fails to load if your kernel
is not compiled with INET6 - the failure is actually only
on symbols related to stats gathering in
bridge_ip6_checkbasic()

I wonder if it might be worthwhile just ignoring
those stats when compiling if_bridge as a module,
so it can be loaded on ipv4 only kernels ?

cheers
