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: Nov 18 10:50:04 localhost kernel: PROTO=6 10.10.1.7:2185 10.10.1.1:23 L=52 S=0x10 I=53633 F=0x4000 T=64 Nov 18 10:50:04 localhost kernel: nf_hook: hook 1 already set.
