Hello,

I have been using bridges quite a bit lately to bridge an ethernet
interface and lots of tun/tap devices.

However on this box i'm getting something funny. The bridge seems to
work but I am getting flooded with errors on the console every second or
so. I have cut it down to just a bridge containing eth0 and the problem
is still happening. If i unplug the ethernet cable from the network
card, the messages stop.

Here is an example of the errors:

Here is how i'm bringing the bridge up:
/usr/sbin/brctl addbr br0
/usr/sbin/brctl setfd br0 1
/usr/sbin/brctl sethello br0 1
/usr/sbin/brctl stp br0 off
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc up
/usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 eth0
/sbin/ifconfig br0 10.10.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.10.1.255 up


[root@buzz:~]# brctl show
bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
br0             8000.00c1260ec9d1       no              eth0
[root@buzz:~]#


Kernel is 2.4.19, bridge utils 0.9.6 and network cards:
Nov 18 10:48:59 localhost kernel: 8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.25
Nov 18 10:48:59 localhost kernel: eth0: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at
0xe8800000, 00:c1:26:0e:c9:d1, IRQ 10
Nov 18 10:48:59 localhost kernel: eth0:  Identified 8139 chip type
'RTL-8139C'
Nov 18 10:48:59 localhost kernel: eth1: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at

Nov 18 10:48:59 localhost kernel: eth1:  Identified 8139 chip type
'RTL-8139C'


Any ideas what's causing this?


Thanks!


Bye for Now,

Ian
