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?
