It would be easier to say what is wrong if you had not left out all those
error messages from insmod; however the most likely problem is that the
running kernel was compiled without bridge support. I am also running
RedHat 8.0, and since it came with kernel 2.4.18, I presume you have
upgraded your kernel yourself. Try "grep br_ /proc/ksyms" and see if the
output resembles this:
c0343f94 br_fdb_get_hook_R650128e7
c0343f98 br_fdb_put_hook_Rb494e82a
c03411e0 br_handle_frame_hook_R60411b88
c03d0c80 br_ioctl_hook_R1fb9705f
If you do not see functions like these, check the ".config" file in your
linux source and see if CONFIG_BRIDGE is defined. If it is, are you sure
you are running the same kernel you compiled? If not, reconfigure the
kernel with bridge support, reinstall it, and try again.
