As a workaround, it is possible to build ethertap tunnels over ppp links, and bridge ethernet to ethertap interfaces. I have several bridged ethertaps, works perfectly.
See http://vtun.sf.net for more infomation. Anybody knows how to build ethertaps in kernel space ? vtun is userspace and eats lot of cpu. -- Nikolay Datchev On Thu, 28 Nov 2002, Ivan Pulleyn wrote: > > Bridge bridges ethernet frames.
