[PATCH][RFC] net/bridge: add basic VEPA support

2009-06-15 Thread Fischer, Anna
This patch adds basic Virtual Ethernet Port Aggregator (VEPA) capabilities to the Linux kernel Ethernet bridging code. A Virtual Ethernet Port Aggregator (VEPA) is a capability within a physical end station that collaborates with an adjacent, external bridge to provide distributed bridging

[PATCH] bridge-utils: fix sysfs path for setting bridge configuration parameters

2009-06-15 Thread Fischer, Anna
Under newer kernels the bridge configuration parameters are located under /sys/class/net/$bridgename/bridge/$param, while the current bridge-utils code is trying to access them under /sys/class/net/$bridgename/$param. This patch fixes this issue in the bridge-utils code and so allows setting of
