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.
