Now I can't get why kernel > do not support that. Have some disadvantages? I'm not sure if this is even possible using standard protocols. Bridging is for Ethernet; PPP is not Ethernet. So this would require some sort of nonstandard Ethernet-over-PPP encapsulation protocol, and would only make sense if the PPP devices at both ends of the link talked this protocol. This sounds like a job for something outside the kernel, e.g. OpenVPN as suggested or a simpler Ethernet-over-IP tunnelling app. Malcolm -- Malcolm Scott Research Assistant University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list Bridge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bridge
