Linux Ethernet Bridging - Aug 2008 - [Bridge] linux bridging problem

Hi,
  I am trying to creat a bridge with the following command:
        brctl addbr br0
        brctl addif br0 eth0
        brctl addif br0 pci0
        ifconfig eth0 up
        ifconfig pci0 up
        ifconfig br0 up
        dhclient br0

I am able to see the bridge and interfaces to the bridge using brctl show
command.. But when I run the
dhclient br0 command, the system stops responding.  I am not able to see
anything on the termnial and the termnial does not respond...  Please let me
what is the problem....

Thanks,
joy

Do virtual terminals still work (Alt+F2, Alt+F3, ...)?  If yes, then
you're not receiving a dhcp response and your dhclient is configured
with a long timeout.

If no, then one of your kernel modules is hanging your system.
Include the output of "uname -a" and "lsmod".
