5 and can you make ethernet bridging with 2.4.3x ?
6 i compiled my kernel with the bridge support, downloaded the
7 bridge-utils v1.0.6 and it requires the 2.6.x series kernel headers :(((
8 since bridge-utils 1.x the 2.6.x kernel is needed... i think.
9 older 0.9.7 versions are compiled fine but i get this message:
10
11 #./brctl addbr bri
12 Get bridge indices failed: Operation not supported
13 can't setup bridge control: Operation not supported
14
15 if I compile it in module, i get the same :(
16
17 has anyone experience using bridge in 2.4.x?
