Vladimir, your version was way too big.
I've implemented a stub (guess it should work fine) that is more like
i'd have expected it (see current svn):
text data bss dec hex filename
289 20 0 309 135 networking/brctl.o.r20850
806 0 0 806 326 networking/brctl.o.vlad-noshow
Please feel free to implement a (small) 'show' mode, ideally without
relying on sysfs but by different means (e.g. via netlink and looking if
it's a bridge; didn't look if that would work, but sysfs is nearly as
ugly as proc ;)
Others may have to say more about netlink vs. sysfs.
<fill in complaints about netlink and kernel versions here>
cheers,
