Hi,

Is there a way to disable the mac address learning in linux using "brctl" or
custom code so any packet sent to the bridge will be flooded in each
interfaces.

I would like to do something similar as OpenBSD:
$ brconfig <bridge> -learn <iface>
$ man brconfig
...
     -learn interface
             Mark interface so that the source address of packets received
             from interface are not entered into the address cache.
...

I tried to search on google and on the mailing-list without success.

Thanks in advance for your replies,
