hi!
i have read the bridge source code, in order to modify the bridge so that it acts as a bridge + firewall in one. in this way, the firewall would be faster as data does not have to go up to the application layer, but only need to go up to the data link layer (where the bridge works).
after reading the source code, i have not been able to find the ioctl function definition. please help!
thank you.
regards
fauzan
