So there is no way to get the physical interface from a mac address?
You can read the forwarding database (see brctl sources for how).
But the value can change as result of traffic.
I did actually look at the code before I emailed the list. Sorry if I am
missing something, but a fdb_entry maps a hardware address to a port number.
This arbitary port number points to the port_info structure which seems to
only hold information about what bridge it belongs to. And the bridge_info
structure doesn't contain any information either.
The only place I can find something that might be useful is in
linux/netdevice.h and the "struct net_bridge_port *br_port" under the
net_device structure. This is inside the kernel as it needs __KERNEL__
defined in order to use it, or is this what I am looking for?
Thank you once again
Joergen
