Hi Vlad, This is not a comment for this patch set, but I have a question. I'm trying to use bridge command to turn off flood/learning but couldn't find the corresponding command. I'm expecting something like "bridge link set br0 flood/learning". Are there any other userspace commands that can set flood/learning flag? Thanks, Toshiaki Makita
