Stephen,
Did you mean that the #255 limit is set in 2.4 Kernel, not
bridge-utility? I am wondering why there is such limit,
performance-related, or...? If I have to modify kernel 2.4 to exceed the
limit, can you tell me where I should look at? Any drawback if I increase the limit up to 6000?
Many thanks

You can have up 1023 interfaces with 2.6. I didn't want to change the
2.4
code, only critical bug fixes get backported.
