Hi, I wrote a module to create dummy ethernet device, the intention is to add it to a bridge and transmit modified packets. I get ethernet device created but its xmit function is not called when the bridge receives a packet. I feel I have missed some information to register netdevice. To add to bridge I did the following: brctl addbr br0 brctl addif bro eth0 brctl addif br0 firsteth0 ifconfig etho 0.0.0.0 ifconfig bro 172.16.2.100 up When I try to add IP address to firsteth0, I get a kernel panic!! Can we give IP to dummy ethernet device? Please help, I am given little time to complete this :( I am attaching the code for the dummy ethernet device. -Ravi - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
