((never tried, didnt think even a little, but...))
Plug two more cards into you linux box, connect them both to the switch,
make them an interfaces of one bridge inside you linux box and bring up
STP over there. I guess bridge should detect a loop quickly and block one
port. Then you'll be able to monitor bridge's state.
Uh?
Sorry if I'm wrong!-) It's possible quite now...
