Hello, I've been trying to make a bridge to use with snort so I can put it in front of my network to see how many scans are happening on my network.
I noticed that when I compiled (2.4.10) as a module, I had messages concerning br_ioctl_hook, but works ok when compiled into the kernel. My main problem at the moment is that I can't get the bridge to actually do anything. I have eth[01], both ne2000, loaded as modprobe ne io=0x300,0x320 irq=10,11 and is detected fine. I can addbr and addif the interfaces, without messages, but when I run brctl showstp bridge0, it shows that ports eth[01] are in the `disabled' state. I've tried doing ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc up ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 promisc up before I setup the bridge, but to no avail. When I delete the interface with delif, I get a message saying the interface entered the `disabled' state. I presume this is normal, but since it never left `disable' state, I thought I'd include it for completeness. Can anyone verify the proper operation of ne2000 cards? Or do I need to shell out for something else.
