If so, which vendors? Since Gigabit Ethernet is Ethernet, bridging should just work. Support was added in May to make bridging generic to Ethernet instead of interface dependent. You're obviously not going to be able to bridge at wirespeed, but it should work. > I would like to see the Sysconnect and Intel 1000BaseSX cards supported. JFYI, even the author of the Intel driver doesn't really recommend them since he can't get docs to get decent performance out of them. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
