Hi there- perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but the subject summerizes what I get everytime when I try the following: eth0 is up and running, as bought up by booting. $ ifconfig eth0 down $ brctl show -> empty list, no bridges $ brctl addbr br0 $ brctl show -> shows br0, no enslaved devices $ brctl addif br0 eth0 -> Device eth0 is already a member of a bridge: can't enslave it to bridge br0. $ brctl addif br0 tap0 -> ok $ brctl show -> lists br0, with tap0 as interface What am I doing wrong? Or is this not the expected behaviour- and if not, any suggestions for how to fix it? Note: I'm also getting kernel panics (see my previous post), but I've found the above ordering at least doesn't take the system down. Further note: eth0 is using the sis900 driver, loaded as a module. Any help greatly appreciated- this is a real annoyance. Thanks in advance- Julian
