Neil: The bridging part of Bering is indeed poorly documented. I am looking for volunteers to write up a chapter on this in the Bering user's guide. No success so far :-( I hope you have at least read this: http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/bridge.html also http://bridge.sourceforge.net/ http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Bridge/ http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/networking.html#NETBRIDGE Also please post your request to the Leaf user list. You can get better feedback from there.
