[Bridge] STP problem

[Zoran s]

Daniel,

I have couple of questions here to help to close on to
the cause of the problem.

Does it happen [ping stops working] in any case (when
ANY of the links fail)?

You might consider [both scenarios] setting only one
link to be tunnel between your LANs, and see what then
will happen with ping, this test scenarios might help:
LAN1 -- BRIDGE1 -- Wireless Link -- BRIDGE2 -- LAN2
or
LAN1 -- BRIDGE1 -- TINC vpn tunnel -- BRIDGE2 -- LAN2

Regards,
Zoran
