hi i've setup the following on debian etch with bridge-utils 1.4 (backported) and kernel 2.6.26 from backports.org: vlan10 with raw device eth0 vlan20 with raw device eth0 br10 with initial port vlan10 br20 with initial port vlan20 i've set hw addr to DE:AD:BE:EF:34:10 for br10 and DE:AD:BE:EF:34:20 for br20 the bridges are used to connect virtual machine nic's. "brctl show" before any other port is attached: bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces br10 8000.deadbeef3410 no vlan10 br20 8000.deadbeef3420 no vlan20 then after "brctl addif br10 vnet1" and "brctl addif br10 vnet2" brctl show says: bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces br10 8000.00ff351a360c no vnet1 vlan10 br20 8000.00ff8fe8ee1d no vnet2 vlan20 why the bridge id changed? on delif the bridge id changes back to the original one. On "brctl addbr" the following kernel message is printed: [426666.180613] br10: Dropping NETIF_F_UFO since no NETIF_F_HW_CSUM feature. if i don't set the mac addr to the bridges they get both the hw addr from eth0. the bridge id doesn't change on addif but there are many kernel messages like the one below: [405275.752398] vnet1: received packet with own address as source address Any hints appreciated. - Thomas _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list Bridge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bridge
