Hi Majjari, We've solved the problem now. It turned out that the bridge_list in the kernel was not being corrupted. The problem was actually that "brctl show" was only returning the last 32 bridges created. We upped this to 2048, which required a brctl change and also a kernel module change. The patch is attached.
