Hi Juergen, So the "add bridge failed: Package not installed" seems to be complaining that Module bridge.ko is not installed in the running kernel (so not reported with "lsmod"). You need to copy bridge.ko into /lib/modules/ Then you need to run "depmod" Then you need to run "modprobe bridge" I found that I also had to copy stp.ko and llc.ko into /lib/modules/ before "modprobe bridge" would work. Check for errors in /var/log/messages after you run "modprobe bridge". Normally errors like "bridge: Unknown symbol llc_mac_hdr_init (err 0)" can be solved by also copying module llc.ko into /lib/modules/ and trying again. I see that http://leaf.sourceforge.net/doc/bubridge.html has not been migrated to the new Wiki User Guide. I will fix that and update the content for Bering-uClibc 4.x davidMbrooke ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.
