Greetings,

I'm on a Gentoo vanilla-sources-2.6.24.2 kernel, with
bridge-utils-1.4installed. When I try to modprobe bridge dmesg shows:

Feb 22 15:22:51 indigo bridge: Unknown symbol br_handle_frame_hook
Feb 22 15:22:51 indigo bridge: Unknown symbol nf_register_hooks
Feb 22 15:22:51 indigo bridge: Unknown symbol br_fdb_put_hook
Feb 22 15:22:51 indigo bridge: Unknown symbol nf_unregister_hooks
Feb 22 15:22:51 indigo bridge: Unknown symbol nf_hook_slow
Feb 22 15:22:51 indigo bridge: Unknown symbol br_fdb_get_hook

Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks! :-)

Your kernel wasn't built with bridging enabled. You can't just build the
bridge module standalone, the kernel itself needs to include bridging.

Save your kernel config and then rebuild:

cp .config config.sav
make mrproper
make
