I have a bridge using kernel 2.4.12 with the 20010709-2 bridge patches; the bridge code is built as a module. The bridging and netfilter both work fine, but packet capture doesn't work right when the br_passthrough module is loaded. Running tcpdump on the bridge interface (br0) only reports broadcast traffic and traffic from (but not to) the bridge (IP address on br0). Without the br_passthrough module loaded, tcpdump shows all of the traffic crossing the bridge. The difference can be observed by using insmod/rmmod br_passthrough.
I assume that this is a bug rather than a feature because it changes the expected behavior bridge interface. This is especially a problem because there is no way to capture packets on the individual interfaces in the bridge. _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.math.leidenuniv.nl/mailman/listinfo/bridge
