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?
