Linux Ethernet Bridging - Jun 2009 - [Bridge] bridge problem

Hello,

I have these two card that I'm trying to use in a bridge :

nVidia Corporation MCP67 Ethernet (rev a2)
Davicom Semiconductor, Inc. 21x4x DEC-Tulip compatible 10/100 Ethernet 
(rev 31)

Bridge works if nvidia is the LAN side and Davicom on WAN side, but no 
way to get bridge working if nvidia is on LAN and Davicom on WAN -

Driver for Davicom is dmfe; with driver Tulip interface isn't even added 
to bridge

Paolo

I have no clue what you're talking about.  The bridge logic treats all ports
exactly the same, except when it comes to spanning tree choosing one to shut
down when it detects a link.  Beyond that, your "working" and
"not working"
don't seem to be different.

Are you sure you are using bridging, and not routing or NAT?
