It seems that switching from 2.4.x to 2.6.x caused the bridge of more than a bnep (Bluetooth) device to stop to work. Details on this kind of bridging at: http://www.cs.ucla.edu/~cclljj/interest/notes/bluez/pand_bridge_nap.html Note that the MAC address of all these devices is the same, as they belong to the same bluetooth device. # ifconfig bnep0 bnep0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:72:80:1B:3B inet6 addr: fe80::202:72ff:fe80:1b3b/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:537 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:138 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:69267 (67.6 KiB) TX bytes:24779 (24.1 KiB) # ifconfig bnep1 bnep1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:72:80:1B:3B inet6 addr: fe80::202:72ff:fe80:1b3b/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:14 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:5094 (4.9 KiB) TX bytes:356 (356.0 b) What I did is: # brctl addbr pan0 # ifconfig pan0 192.168.111.1 # brctl setfd pan0 0 # brctl stp pan0 disable # brctl addif pan0 bnep0 # ifconfig bnep0 0.0.0.0 And the first bluetooth link works fine, but when I try to add a second link I get: # brctl addif pan0 bnep1 can't add bnep1 to bridge pan0: File exists ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ if I try to remove bnep1: # brctl delif pan0 bnep1 device bnep1 is not a slave of pan0 With kernel 2.4.x instead everything works. Any suggestion? Regards, Diego.
