Linux Ethernet Bridging - Apr 2007 - [Bridge] Request Help: Error when compiling with Bridging enabled

I am attempting to use the bridging-utilities (i.e., bridge-utils-0.9.5.1)
in an

Linux-arm environment (linux-arm 2.4.19).

 

But, when executed command listed below, further investigation indicated we
are required to

rebuild kernel to enable the bridging code.

 

# brctl addbr br0

br_add_bridge: Package not installed

 

Therefore our initial attempt to rebuild kernel failed as indicated below
(with

"CONFIG_BRIDGE=y" ) in .config file. 

 

net/network.o: In function `__br_clear_frame_hook':

net/network.o(.text+0x461dc): undefined reference to `br_handle_frame_hook'

net/network.o: In function `__br_clear_ioctl_hook':

net/network.o(.text+0x461fc): undefined reference to `br_ioctl_hook'

net/network.o: In function `br_init':

net/network.o(.text.init+0x2c50): undefined reference to
`br_handle_frame_hook'

net/network.o(.text.init+0x2c5c): undefined reference to `br_ioctl_hook'

make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

 

Has anyone seen this particular problem? And if so, what was (or is) the
resolution?

 

Looking forward to your response. If this is routed inappropriately, please
provide

a list of recipients.

You need to probably do a "make mrproper" then make again to force
a complete kernel rebuild.
