Hi guys!

I have the following scenario:

Clients Network <------> Linux router <------> Mikrotik gateway
<------> INTERNET

Happens what the Mikrotik gateway controls the clients from the mac
address (joining an ip to an MAC address) and when i put the linux
router between they the control don't works.
I saw on the MK(mikrotik) the packets coming in with the MAC address
from the bridge, and this is a problem.

Exist some way to preserve the source mac through a bridged
connection, to continue seeing the mac address of the clients?
