I am interested in finding out about the current efforts in adding RSTP (802.1w) support to the current bridging module (more interested in 2.6 tree). I am a developer and can offer my help in either developing the code, porting over work from a 2.4 tree, or in a testing capacity. I would appreciate it if people who are working on this can contact me and let me know the status of the efforts. I'd hate to have to write it from scratch, only to throw it away a year later. Thanks. :-) eddie

Patches to provide netlink information are being tested.
