Hi,

I've just attempted to patch my 2.4.17 kernel with the patches:

01_config_inet_dependency.diff            
2.4_fix_port_state_handling.diff
02_enslave_bridge_dev_to_bridge_dev.diff  
bridge-nf-0.0.4-against-2.4.16.diff

in order to use my linux box as a firewall between my LAN and ADSL
connection. All seemed to go well (except for a hunk failure with the last
patch, which I assume is because some of these fixes made it into the 2.4.17
kernel...). However, when I configured my bridge:

brctl addbr br0
brctl addif eth0
brctl addif eth1

and used the 'ip' tool to configure ip addresses and activate the br0
interface, I was unable to ping any other ip addresses on my LAN, or my ADSL
router.
What I'd like to know is, does the 'ip' configuration do anything
differently to ifconfig that would cause my bridge not to work correctly,
and if this isn't the case, is it possible to enable any debug options to
get some output that may be useful for debugging my bridge?

Thanks in advance,

Gareth John
