I'm trying to get the bridge code to work and have run into a strange
problem. I have 2 ethernet ports, and only the port with the lower mac
address works properly. I can reconfigure the hardware so the mac addresses
are reversed, and the working port changes.

The system is based on Montevista's 2.4.2 embedded linux kernel for ppc
8260. Both ethernet ports work fine when configured separately as eth0 and
eth1. The problem is when I use brctl to create the br0 bridge. Only one
of the eth* ports works properly, the one with the lower mac address.

I don't know if the problem is in:
1) Ethernet driver code (ie, kernel)
2) bridge code (also in kernel)
3) brctl code

Any ideas as to what the problem is or where I should concentrate my
searching will be welcome. Please cc me on responses as I'm not subscribed
to the list.

TIA!!!!!
-Dave
