Bart,
 
I am using Intel EtherExpress and Intel EtherPro with standard 2.4.20 drivers.
 
What is surprising here is that ifconfig shows that there are no dropped packets, no collisions etc. on the hardware.
 
Also total traffic on br0 is less than 1% then that of eth0, eth1,and eth3 - is this normal.
 
Thanks for all your help.

All reports until now have not stated that the packets no longer go through
the bridge when that message appears. If we'd use NF_DROP we'd get weird bug
reports about packets being dropped. The real solution is to fix the network
driver.

That makes sence.

It's not a bridge bug, we're just nice enough to check for that incorrect
behaviour.
What network driver are you using?

cheers,
Bart
