I'm having trouble figuring out how to make a bridge that does not block
forwarding of packets when there is no receive channel in the same
bridge. The reason I want to do this is that the return path is via
another circuit. The two directions are on two different radios. I would
think this would be like the response given to someone in July 2007
about setting a "hub" mode by setting the aging timer to 0. I tried that
and it did not work.
I also tried a few schemes with ebtables without success either. Is
there some relatively easy way to make the bridge forward everything and
not cut off the transmit after a single packet?

The WAN side uses a synchronous serial interface to the radios for
satellite communications. The other end uses a single radio and bridge.
