List-Id: Linux Ethernet Bridging List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , To: "bridge@lists.linux-foundation.org" Hi list, I have a question regarding bridges in general, and my bridge in particular. I want to take all the packages flowing one way over the bridge (say eth0->eth1) and pack them in my own packet- structure (extra headers added, and the content modulated for further wireless transportation), and all the packages flowing in the other direction (say eth1->eth0) needs to be "de- packed" (stripped of my custom headers, and demodulated). What I'm basically doing is trying to make my software radio (connected to one of the network- devices) work as a wireless network adapter, but with my own signaling- scheme, but I don't want to use the same computer for the radio, as for "browsing the web", since the radio- part is a bit on the heavy side to the processor. Is there an easy way to do this? Where would you start? I have been looking at the code for the kernel- module, but haven't really got any really useful clues from it. Any pointers towards where to start looking, poking and dragging would be greatly appreciated. BR Mattias Kjellsson
