This code is already available in kernel 2.4.x, so no patches needed if you
use a 2.4.x kernel.

It's only needed to patch the kernel if you want to use iptables on the
bridge.

Yes. You can use the u32 filter. If you want to use the iptables+fw-filter,
you will need extra patches.

I want to put very clear this idea, because I am interested in this too!
If I want to put a Linux machine with bridge and HTB shaping, and only
that (NO firewall, no iptables, no nothing, only bridge and HTB for
shaping).
Do I need to patch the kernel with anything other that the HTB patch (if
my linux kernel < 2.4.20 )
Thanks!
Julio.

You should also take a look a ebtables:

Yes.

No.

I'm not sure. I think somebody asked the same question on the
bridge or ebtables Mailinglist but I can't find it. Check the
archives.

If that's true, then there really aren't any stupid people.

You still need the patch to make iptables work on the bridge
interface.
