[Bridge] Question about using brctl and changing MAC addresses

I'm using Linux 2.6.20 (yes, I'll be upgrading to 2.6.24 as soon as it's stable). I have 4 VIA rhine ethernet controllers on my Soekris net5501, plus an ADSL PCI card (a Sangoma S-518) that runs in AAL5-SNAP mode, so it looks like an Ethernet controller. I'm trying to bridge eth0 and w1ad (the AD

Re: [Bridge] Question about using brctl and changing MAC addresses

Philip, sorry for the duplicate email. Forgot to CC the list the first time. Perhaps the needed patch is the following, which allows setting the bridge hardware address to anything rather than just one of the port interface addresses. Seems to have got in after Linux 2.6.21, so should be in 2.6.2

Searching for the commit by name on kernel.org: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux%2Fkernel%2Fgit%2Ftorvalds%2Flinux-2.6.git&a=search&h=v2.6.22-rc1&st=commit&s=allow+changing+hardware+address+to+any+valid+address and then the link to the commit page itself (from the search results): http://git.kernel.
