Hi All! I am interested in bridging my eth0 with eth1 in my tobi duo board. So for example, whatever packets arrive on eth0 should be routed to eth1 and vice versa. I read up that I need to download bridge-utils which will allow me to make such a bridging possible. After downloading an ipk image, I did an opkg install and it seemed to work fine. However, upon creating a bridge: *brctl addbr br0* It gives me an error: *add bridge failed: Package not installed.* Have I missed out something? Is there any alternative to be able to bridge 2 ethernet connections? Thanks for your help. Chinab |

Do you maybe need a kernel module / driver for bridge utils? From: Chinab Chugh [mailto:chi...@gm...] Sent: 10 October 2011 13:04 To: General mailing list for gumstix users.

Hi Ben, I did a search over the internet but was not able to find any driver or package which I can add to the kernel. I was however able to bitbake the necessary package of bridge-utils for my desktop (Ubuntu 10.04) and it works perfectly fine. Is there any other way of getting bridge-utils or brctl running on the gumstix?

Make sure those are enabled in the kernel configuration: CONFIG_BRIDGE (http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/BRIDGE.html) CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER (http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/BRIDGE_NETFILTER.html) The first should enable bridging in the kernel and the second one should allow using iptables on bridged eth. For example we could check config used for 3.0 kernel: http://www.sakoman.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=linux-omap-2.6.git;a=blob_plain;f=arch/arm/configs/omap3_defconfig;hb=refs/heads/omap-3.0 # CONFIG_BRIDGE is not set This is not compiled in kernel or as kernel module. -david Chinab Chugh wrote: > > Hi All! > > I am interested in bridging my eth0 with eth1 in my tobi duo board.
