Hi,
This is in continuation of my previous mail/posting.
I apologise, because I missed out a very important parameter in my previous mail/posting. I should stand corrected, you need to set your network interface in promiscuous mode. It is very important for the bridging to start. it is not mentioned anywhere, either in linux/Documentation/Configure.help or in Multiple-Ethernet-mini-HOWTO.
Alan, Can this be added in Configure.help ? or let the brcfg do it, in the option "brcfg -ena" ?
You need to do the following :
ifconfig eth0 promisc ${IP0} broadcast ${BROADCAST} netmask ${NETMASK} ifconfig eth0 promisc ${IP1} broadcast ${BROADCAST} netmask ${NETMASK}
or as a separate command like this :
ifconfig eth0 promisc ifconfig eth1 promisc
thanks, /Madhu
