Felix, An interesting idea, but it appears that the multicast traffic is not passed up by the "old" binary driver. Plus I have a couple of modifications that I have made to the Linux bridge code to support MAC based VLANs. I would have to add support to relayd to support that as well. I fear that it will end up being a bit messy. Is there any documentation/man pages for "relayd". I haven't been able to find any - may have to read the source ---------------------------------------------------------- Chris Martin m: 0419812371 ---------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
