Hi all

 

         &n= bsp;  Iam working on Bridging code in linux 2.4.20 kernel. I just want to know whether this bridge works with two different ki= nds of interfaces attached to bridge.

 

Like

 

1.    &nb= sp;  a bridge with 802.3 interface and 802.5 interface

2.    &nb= sp;  a bridge with 802.3 interface and 802.16 interface(wireless).

 

I think the present b= ridge code in linux 2.4.20 kernel doesn’t support this kind of bridging and this co= de doesn’t do the protocol conversions necessary. I just want to confirm.

 

 

Eagerly Waiting for reply

Vikram.
