Hi I've got a ne2000 based Card which shows up as ne1 (BNC) and ne3 (RJ45). Unter linux I can assign an ip address to a bridge:
brctl show bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces br0 8000.0016b6a3ee35 no vlan0 eth1 ifconfig br0 br0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:B6:A3:EE:35 inet addr:10.0.0.2 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::216:b6ff:fea3:ee35/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:6276 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:4805 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:395441 (386.1 KiB) TX bytes:617692 (603.2 KiB) route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 br0 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 br0 so there's no routing issue with having eg. 10.0.0.100 connected via BNC and 10.0.0.101 via RJ45. But under 4.0 I am not allowed to assign an ip: # ifconfig bridge0 create # brconfig bridge0 add ne1 add ne3 # ifconfig bridge0 10.4.19.1 ifconfig: SIOCAIFADDR: Invalid argument Is my idea totally wrong? -- Greetings Chris
