The ebtables + bridge patch on 2.4.20 won't work for me. Wouldn't mind learning layer 2, but for now I just need an iptables bridge. $ gcc --version 2.95.4 $ tar xjf ../linux-2.4.20.tar.bz2 $ cat ../ebtables-v2.0.003_vs_2.4.20.diff | patch -p0 ... no errors ... $ cat ../bridge-nf-0.0.10-against-2.4.20.diff | patch -p0 ... no errors ... $ cd linux-2.4.20 $ make menuconfig which segfaulted on a very clean box (I'm building an install image), tried it on another box today, same result. ... Using defaults found in arch/i386/defconfig Preparing scripts: functions, parsingscripts/Menuconfig: line 1: 29880 Segmentation fault awk "$1" Awk died with error code 139. Giving up. make: *** [menuconfig] Error 1 I've compiled lots of kernels, both of these computer already are running custom 2.4.20 kernels. I can only imagine incompatible versions of some binary... textutils version 2.0-12, gcc 3.2.1, on the second, 2.95.4 on the first. These are, for the most part, out of the box Debian Woody computers. Can anyone suggest what I should even be looking at to resolve? // George -- GEORGE GEORGALIS, System Admin/Architect cell: 347-451-8229 Security Services, Web, Mail, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Multimedia, DB, DNS and Metrics. http://www.galis.org/george _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.math.leidenuniv.nl/mailman/listinfo/bridge
