You can just grab src/sys/net/if_bridge.c from the stable branch and build it on 6.1. You can either rebuild the kernel or if you are using modules then make && make install in src/sys/modules/if_bridge. Let me know if you get stuck. cheers, Andrew _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
