Sorry.
>after some trial and error, this is what i found.

network and external gw, then NOTHING gets through the bridge (except ssh to
the bridge from internal net).

here is some more info:

Is there anything else that could be of value?
I am NOT sure what to make of the brctl values, but I do know that ifconfig
gives me the same output regardless of how the bridge is booted (connected
to the network or not).
thanks again - ted
