So.. did Stephen fix this by now, i.e. can you operate a bridge via sysfs *only* nowadays¹) ? cheers, PS: We are concerned about the size of the brctl(8) ²) ¹) http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2008-April/065314.html and https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/bridge/2008-May/005839.html https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/bridge/2008-May/005838.html ²) ioctl-only impl http://git.busybox.net/busybox/tree/networking/brctl.c needs less than 2400 bytes, including any fancy stuff and show* support. If we can switch to sysfs-only then we can probably keep that size or even reduce it, but if we have to use 2 separate operation-modi (ioctl for adding/deleting a bridge and interfaces *and* sysfs for the param-setting), then this would add undue size. _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
