Hi all

 

            Iam working on Bridging code in linux 2.4.20 kernel. I just
want to know whether this bridge works with two different kinds of
interfaces attached to bridge.

 

Like

 

1.       a bridge with 802.3 interface and 802.5 interface

2.       a bridge with 802.3 interface and 802.16 interface(wireless).

 

I think the present bridge code in linux 2.4.20 kernel doesn't support
this kind of bridging and this code doesn't do the protocol conversions
necessary. I just want to confirm.

 

 

Eagerly Waiting for reply

Vikram.

Wireless needs NDS support.
