Hello,

I`m trying to get bridging to get to work with Linux 2.0.16 I`ve compiled it
with bridging = yes. Read the help in config.help. It says I should get a
package from shadow.cabi.net. I got the package, but it doesn`t contain any
info. If i run the brcfg program it says:

bridging is DISABLED debugging is DISABLED
bridge id 0x0001 00:c0:58:21:21:2a

Does anyone know where i can get a manual or a howto?

Grtz,
