RE: Kernel Bridge and Traffic Shaper

["Dan Trainor" <dant () cavecreek net>]

I never could get that bridge to work.  The bridge would bind to one
interface, but not the other.  I was, however, able to treat the bridge
itself as an interface and assign it an IP.  My overall goal was to
bridge off of a WiFi connection, and bring it back to hardwire.  To this
day, I still cannot get it to work.  But the idea itself is promising.

Yes, under linux, you must use linux native bridge 
(http://bridge.sourceforge.net) which is part of the 2.4 series (at 
least, 2.4.20 have it!) and can interoperate with iptables and all the 
other tools.
