[Bridge] eth0- can't enslave to br0,
but eth0 is down and not part of a bridge!

Hi there-
perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but the subject summerizes what
I get everytime when I try the following:
eth0 is up and running, as bought up by booting.
$ ifconfig eth0 down
$ brctl show
-> empty list, no bridges
$ brctl addbr br0
$ brctl show
-> shows br0, no enslaved devices
$ brctl addif br0 eth0
-> Device eth0 is already a member of a bridge: can't enslave it to bridge br0.
$ brctl addif br0 tap0
-> ok
$ brctl show
-> lists br0, with tap0 as interface
What am I doing wrong?
Or is this not the expected behaviour- and if not, any suggestions for
how to fix it?
Note: I'm also getting kernel panics (see my previous post), but I've
found the above ordering at least doesn't take the system down.
Further note: eth0 is using the sis900 driver, loaded as a module.
Any help greatly appreciated- this is a real annoyance.
Thanks in advance-
Julian
