Hi there- I think I have a bug to report :-( I'm trying to setup up a bridge for use with OpenVPN on my Gentoo box- resulting in a lot of fiddling and creating/destroying bridges (mostly to do with me getting things right in gentoos network config scripts.) What I've noticed is that when I create br0, and try and add eth0, it says it's already part of a bridge (it isn't - no bridges yet... may possibly be 'up' as it's listed by ifconfig.) Everytime I try something like ifconfig eth0 down, I get a kernel panic/lockup. Copying what I think is useful from the screen: EIP is at br_device_event+0x94/0x110 [bridge] ... Process ifconfig (pid 22092, threadinfo:c18e9999 task:c165c600) Stack: ....(I assume this is ifconfig's stack, and probably not a lot of interest to the problem...) Call Trace: notifier_call_chain dev_close dev_change_flags devinet_ioctl inet_ioctl sock_ioctl do_ioctl do_page_fault vfs_ioctl sys_ioctl sysenter_past_esp .... (0)Kernel panic- not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt Note- may have some typos, this is actually a PVR box plugged into a tv- not the easiest to work with ;-) Hope that's enough info to be useful, feel free to ask for more- so long as you're willing to guide me in what info you need, and how to collect it. Final note: eth0 is a sis900 on-board ethernet device. Hope someone can tell me how to fix/avoid this one! Thanks in advance- Julian
