[Bridge] Little problem with 1.x versions (if_indextoname)
...ibc) which uses the SIOCGIFCONF ioctl and scans the if list to resolv the name for an if_index. The kernel will not send back interfaces which do not have an ip address (or exactly only for protocol family inet or decnet). So if the bridge does not have an ip address the name resolution fails and old_foreach_bridge() fails as well. I'm not sure who has the problem now (kernel, uClibc, bridge) , but I think I will insert if_indextoname() back to the bridge. I hope that this information is useful. Regards Harald K?the
