Re: [Bridge] Bridging

[Santiago Garcia Mantinan <bridge@manty.net>]

Just a quick note for those reading this on the list, version 1.X up to, and
including, 1.0.3 doesn't work on 2.4 kernels, Stephen is looking at that and
there should be a new version :-)

Yes, by default new versions of the tools require libsysfs, you'll have to
specify a parameter to configure to build without libsysfs.

brctl is a tool to control the bridge, not a kernel module, thus it cannot
be seen on lsmod, but if it installed well you can surelly run brctl and get
its help or do a man brctl, ...

BTW: there are bridge-utils packages on most distros out there, maybe you
should install the binary package that comes with your distribution.
