Emmanuel: Thanks for getting back to me on this issue. I haven't tried your suggestions yet, however, I wonder why similar packages that don't have the modifications you recommend seem to work they way I expect them to.
For example, the package that installs the bridge utiliites: package/bridge-utils/, has a Makefile that looks like this: include $(TOPDIR)/rules.mk include $(INCLUDE_DIR)/kernel.mk PKG_NAME:=bridge-utils PKG_RELEASE:=1 PKG_SOURCE_URL:=@SF/bridge ifeq ($(CONFIG_LINUX_2_4),y) PKG_VERSION:=1.0.6 PKG_MD5SUM:=9b7dc52656f5cbec846a7ba3299f73bd endif ifeq ($(CONFIG_LINUX_2_6),y) PKG_VERSION:=1.4 PKG_MD5SUM:=0182fcac3a2b307113bbec34e5f1c673 endif PKG_SOURCE:=$(PKG_NAME)-$(PKG_VERSION).tar.gz include $(INCLUDE_DIR)/package.mk define Package/bridge SECTION:=net CATEGORY:=Base system TITLE:=Ethernet bridging configuration utility URL:=http://bridge.sourceforge.net/ endef define Package/bridge/description Manage ethernet bridging: a way to connect networks together to form a larger network. endef CONFIGURE_ARGS += \ --with-linux-headers="$(LINUX_DIR)" \ define Build/Prepare $(call Build/Prepare/Default) ( cd $(PKG_BUILD_DIR) ; \ [ -f ./configure ] || { \ ln -sf configure.in configure.ac ; \ autoconf ; \ } \ ) endef define Package/bridge/install $(INSTALL_DIR) $(1)/usr/sbin $(INSTALL_BIN) $(PKG_BUILD_DIR)/brctl/brctl $(1)/usr/sbin/ endef $(eval $(call BuildPackage,bridge)) And, this makefile seem to be able to induce the creation of the bridge management program: brctl As seen in my "sand box" ./package/busybox/patches/.svn/text-base/802-brctl_linux24.patch.svn-base ./package/busybox/patches/.svn/text-base/801-brctl_zero_time.patch.svn-base ./package/busybox/patches/.svn/text-base/003-brctl_show_fix.patch.svn-base ./package/busybox/patches/003-brctl_show_fix.patch ./package/busybox/patches/801-brctl_zero_time.patch ./package/busybox/patches/802-brctl_linux24.patch ./build_dir/target-mipsel_uClibc-0.9.30.3/busybox-1.14.4/networking/brctl.c ./build_dir/target-mipsel_uClibc-0.9.30.3/busybox-1.14.4/networking/.brctl.o.cmd ./build_dir/target-mipsel_uClibc-0.9.30.3/busybox-1.14.4/networking/brctl.o ./build_dir/target-mipsel_uClibc-0.9.30.3/busybox-1.14.4/ipkg-install/usr/sbin/brctl ./build_dir/target-mipsel_uClibc-0.9.30.3/busybox-1.14.4/include/config/feature/brctl ./build_dir/target-mipsel_uClibc-0.9.30.3/busybox-1.14.4/include/config/feature/brctl/show.h ./build_dir/target-mipsel_uClibc-0.9.30.3/busybox-1.14.4/include/config/feature/brctl/fancy.h ./build_dir/target-mipsel_uClibc-0.9.30.3/busybox-1.14.4/include/config/brctl.h ./build_dir/target-mipsel_uClibc-0.9.30.3/busybox-1.14.4/ipkg-nexb1/busybox/usr/sbin/brctl ./build_dir/linux-nexb1/bridge-utils-1.4/brctl ./build_dir/linux-nexb1/bridge-utils-1.4/brctl/brctl.c ./build_dir/linux-nexb1/bridge-utils-1.4/brctl/brctl ./build_dir/linux-nexb1/bridge-utils-1.4/brctl/brctl_cmd.c ./build_dir/linux-nexb1/bridge-utils-1.4/brctl/brctl_disp.o ./build_dir/linux-nexb1/bridge-utils-1.4/brctl/brctl_cmd.o ./build_dir/linux-nexb1/bridge-utils-1.4/brctl/brctl_disp.c ./build_dir/linux-nexb1/bridge-utils-1.4/brctl/brctl.h ./build_dir/linux-nexb1/bridge-utils-1.4/brctl/brctl.o ./build_dir/linux-nexb1/bridge-utils-1.4/brctl/Makefile.in ./build_dir/linux-nexb1/bridge-utils-1.4/brctl/Makefile ./build_dir/linux-nexb1/bridge-utils-1.4/ipkg-nexb1/bridge/usr/sbin/brctl ./build_dir/linux-nexb1/bridge-utils-1.4/doc/brctl.8 ./staging_dir/target-mipsel_uClibc-0.9.30.3/root-nexb1/usr/sbin/brctl --- As seen on the target: root@NexWare:/# brctl show bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces br-lan 8000.00026b0c5caa no eth0.2 eth0.1 ra0 On Thu, Apr 28, 2011 at 5:50 AM, Emmanuel Deloget < emmanuel.delo...@efixo.com> wrote: > Hello, > > On 04/28/2011 12:16 AM, John Zavgren wrote: >> >> Thanks for getting back to me...
