[Bridge] Bridge question

[Hai Wang]

Hello Stephen,
  I have two questions for you, please help me.
  1. Are you aware that kernel panic issue when brtcl managed to remove
interfaces on the bridge on RH9 (2.4.X)? it is random, it seems to me that
it is racing issue? any fix?
  2. I went through ChangeLog of kernel, I found
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-----------------------

*Summary of changes from v2.6.6 to v2.6.7*

shemminger at osdl.org

      [BRIDGE]: Allow multiple interfaces with same address (necessary
for VLAN's).

-----------------------------------------------------

it seems to me that ethernet bridge allows interfaces with same MACs
address only on kernel 2.6.7 or later, right? If I want to backport
the feature to kernel 2.4.x, what I should take care?



Many thanks
