Hi Luigi, -net:
There seems to be a problem with the BRIDGE-specific
"optimization" in if_ed.c. What it does is avoid getting a packet from
the card if bridge_in() says that we're going to drop it. However, the
code is broken and something eventually leads to a page fault.
Disactivating this portion of if_ed.c rids us of the problem, but
doesn't "fix it" properly.
Rich has some debugging information including, I believe, a crash
dump. Rich, if you can please post that here (i.e. the backtraces and
fault information) as I seemed to have lost it (grrrrr, sorry about
that).
I would rather not just disable the BRIDGE section of if_ed.c to
"mask out" the problem.
Regards,
Bosko.
