The 2.5 bridge-nf code should not give problems that are not encountered in 2.4 (unless the source of the problem is elsewhere). > 2.4.19 or 2.4.20 are probably the most stable. 2.4.20 is (almost) the same code as is in 2.5. The reason why people use 2.4.19 is because there is no link on the bridge hp to the 2.4.20 code. The bug reports like in the mail "Bridge problems", namely that messages like > skb: pf=2 (unowned) dev=br0 len=48 > PROTO=17 .... .... > nf_hook: hook 0 already set fill up the log are all for the 2.4.19 patch, since this bug is solved in the 2.4.20 patch (and was never in 2.5). The 2.4.19 patch was the last one from Lennert. The 2.4.20 patch is only available through ebtables.sourceforge.net since the bridge hp doesn't seem to ever get updated. There's even still a reference to "brepf" on it (early predecessor of ebtables). Since the 2.4.20 patch contains the code resembling the 2.5 code the most, it should be preferred over the 2.4.19 code. cheers, Bart _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.math.leidenuniv.nl/mailman/listinfo/bridge
