There's a simpler solution: at association-time the wlan stack should
emit (up to linux) a bcast frame w/ the source address of the
associating station. That frame will serve to notify the local and
remote bridges of the move.

Hi Francesco,
I already tried playing around with the ageing timer, but it did not
help me.
Since I am using Kernel 2.4: is there no way of flushing the FDB?
Thanks so far,
Dennis

Is this "flushing" somehow to be done manually? Or is there a timer,
which sets this behaviour?
in recent kernel (not in 2.4, and maybe only in recent 2.6) you can
flush the FDB using sysfs:
/sys/class/net/%s/bridge/flush (whole bridge)
/sys/class/net/%s/brif/%s/flush (single interface)
If you want you can lower the ageing timer from the default 300sec
using brcl setageing
Maybe you can just force your phone to register more frequently so the
bridge will just learn the new port when you move.
Francesco
