For one thing it is easier from a development standpoint. The kernel
just needs to provide hooks for allowing userspace programs to send
and receive BPDUs and to change port states. The STP logic can

Your change should help (for Debian?), but it maybe best to start
rstpd from the network init scripts, rather than from bridge-stp.

I sent the patches to him some time back, but perhaps he hasn't had
time to look over them. It is a large set of changes anyway.

Hi List
I cloned the above RSTP imp. and cross-compiled it to powerpc and tried
in on my 2.6.23 kernel, but didn't get very far:
Created a bridge, br0, with brctl and added two interfaces.
started rstpd without args and ran rstpctl
rstpctl showbridge br0
and all I get is
CTL_get_bridge_state:
26 matches
