Re: [Bluez-devel] PAN and bridge problem when bnep0 disconnects before bnep1

Maybe I'm hitting a related bug.
I'm trying to setup a PAN bridge with kernel 2.6.6-rc3-mm2
with ipv6 enabled (same result with other 2.6 kernels) and when I try
to add bnep1 to the bridge I got the following error:

# brctl addif pan0 bnep1
br_add_interface: File exists

Everithing works fine with 2.4.* kernels (without ipv6).

It seems like in linux-2.6.* + ipv6 it's impossible to have
two bnep interfaces in the same bridge.

Any suggestion?

Regards,

Diego.
