OK, after discuissing the problem for a while, Roman Kurakin (rik@) decided to modify my patch: it will not just blindly rewriting the interface in the mbuf, but will apply an extra check for the physical incoming interface before checking the other bridge members. So it will hopefully do no harm to anything that was worked before and will cure the problem I spotted. Speaking about vlan problems: the original problem is to do something with VLAN interfaces only because they are sharing the MAC of their physical parent. The problem itself is not VLAN-specific -- if there will be two physical interfaces with the same MACs and they will be bridged, the problem will still be here. Will drop you a letter when the patch will be ready. -- Eygene _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
