Subject: Bridging unfriendly
Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2011 09:30:06 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E7C89DE.8090308@earthlink.net> (raw)

Hi,

Is there some reason Linux bridging won't let the ip address be on
one of the interfaces, like FreeBSD does, instead of the bridge device?

This makes it very difficult or impossible to remotely add the interface
you are remoted in on to a bridge, or is there some sneaky way to
do this without losing your connection?

Thanks,
Steve
