Fid you wait for the STP status to change to forwarding? It has to go through a learning period first.

Latest is 1.0.5 If you do: ./configure make You will build the utilities. Then you need to run make install as root. By default it puts the new brctl in /usr/local/sbin/brctl You can figure out what version is running by doing 'brctl -V' Also, unless you have problems, I recommend starting with the bridge-utilities included with your linux distribution.
