[Bridge] Problems with briding on 2.4.24 Sparc64 kernel and bridge utils 0 .9.6
I am running kernel 2.4.24/Sparc64 on my Ultra 60. I also have the latest version of the bridge utils - 0.9.6. When I try to add a bridge though I get this: # brctl addbr bridge0 # brctl addif bridge0 hme0 bridge bridge0 doesn't exist! # brctl show bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces (No bridges shown) # brctl addbr bridge0 device bridge0 already exists; can't create bridge with the same name Note that the bridge module is loaded (viewable with lsmod). I have 5 hme ports on my Ultra 60 (builtin + qfe) and I need really bridging. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to supply more/better information. My Hardware: Ultra 60, 360MHz UltraSPARC II, 2GB RAM, 9 and 18GB SCSI HDDs, builtin hme port, qfe card with 4 "hme" ports, SCSI-CDROM Note that briding works in OpenBSD (with same machine described above) albeit slowly so it is not a hardware problem or limitation. I would be happy to try things, just let me know what to do. Also, please E-mail me replies. I have attempted to join the list, but thus far have not been admitted by the moderator. Thanks--Jim
