Linux Ethernet Bridging - Nov 2009 - [Bridge] [PATCH] Add upstream debian patches

Hello list,

Debian has had these patches by Santiago Garcia Mantinan for ages [0][1],
and they have not been applied yet.  We're trying to run a 32-bit brctl on a
64-bit system, and got bitten by this.  Can you apply the patches below so
other distributions can also benefit from this?

Thanks,
Jasper

 How do bridging and firewalling go together?  First of all, you need a
 kernel patch against the 2.4 kernel to actually make firewalling bridged
 packets possible.  You need to apply this patch to your kernel and recompile
-it, or alternatively, download a pre-patched Red Hat 7.2 kernel RPM and use
-that.  The patch and kernel RPM are located at:
+it. The patch is maintained at:
 
-	http://bridge.sourceforge.net/devel/bridge-nf/
+	http://ebtables.sourceforge.net/
 
 Now if you boot with this kernel, you can use the regular iptables
 firewalling as if you were doing routing.  So, rules for forwarding are

I'd like to make clear that the patches were not made by me, they are what
people has been submitting to Debian through our bts for a long time, I'm
just the maintainer for bridge-utils on Debian and thus collected them and
submitted them a long time ago to this list, see
https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/bridge/2008-August/006011.html
for more info on all this.

Regards...
