thanks for your quick answers. i'm using 3.1-R, and i'd seen from the
"man 4 bridge":
Not all interface support bridging -- at the moment it works for
``ed'',
``de'', ``ep'', ``fxp'', ``lnc'' interfaces.
so i assumed that both my nics were able to do bridging. that was
probably wrong, and nobody has sent me patches for if_ep.c yet. if it's
not difficult for you to do one, a patch would be greatly appreciated.
how can i tell from the source whether an interface is or not able to
bridge ? i've tried to look at if_ed (assuming that ed could do
bridging) , but couldn't spot the pieces of code that made it suited for
bridging.
regards,
Andres.
