Hi folks, I'm new on brctl and didn't find the archive of this list, so, sorry if my question was previously answered. Well, my problem is: when I run "brctl addif pan0 eth0" my network connection is lost. If I execute "brctl delif pan0 eth0" the connection is restablished. Does anyone knows what is missing here?? My full script is typed bellow.
