I am running kernel 2.4.24/Sparc64 on my Ultra 60. I also have the latest
version of the bridge utils - 0.9.6.
When I try to add a bridge though I get this:
# brctl addbr bridge0
# brctl addif bridge0 hme0
bridge bridge0 doesn't exist!
# brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
(No bridges shown)
# brctl addbr bridge0
device bridge0 already exists; can't create bridge with the same name
Note that the bridge module is loaded (viewable with lsmod).
I have 5 hme ports on my Ultra 60 (builtin + qfe) and I need really
bridging. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to supply
more/better information.
My Hardware: Ultra 60, 360MHz UltraSPARC II, 2GB RAM, 9 and 18GB SCSI HDDs,
builtin hme port, qfe card with 4 "hme" ports, SCSI-CDROM
Note that briding works in OpenBSD (with same machine described above)
albeit
slowly so it is not a hardware problem or limitation.
I would be happy to try things, just let me know what to do.
Also, please E-mail me replies. I have attempted to join the list, but thus
far have not been admitted by the moderator.
Thanks--Jim
