The problem Mr. Pallfreeman was seeing are related to how I was
building the arp-reply based on the sources arp_hrd type. I never
expected to see a token-ring arp arrive over an ethernet interface.
Therefore the arp code was trying to check for and collect the
source route that the arp took on its way. I have modified the
arp code to go looking for the source-route information only if
the arp comes from a token-ring station and is received on a
token-ring interface. The arp-reply packet generated is based
on the type of interface the arp was received on. I think
the bridge should have changed the arp_hrd type when it forwarded
the packet, while it was changing everything else, but I think
that falls into a religous debate. Thanks to Mr. Pallfreeman
for helping me debug this and testing my patch.
What this means is: you should be able to arp in both directions
over a token-ring<->ethernet (translational|non-translational) bridge.
The inherent "brokenness" of translational bridging is left as an
exercise for the reader :)
Here's the patch, if someone would be kind enough to commit it. It
seems to have resolved Mr. Pallfreeman's issue and doesn't seem to
break anything else.
