Subject: rstp for 2.4 kernel: port state keeps changing

Hi,

I am using RSTP for 2.4 kernel.

I have created a loop between two bridges:

                   P1  -----------------------------------  P1
BR1                                                                                BR2
                   P2  ----------------------------------   P2

BR2  is rinning linux bridge RSTP.

BR1 is a Root running STP ( Netgear switch).

The port P2 on BR2 go to Blocking state for a while, then  got to Listening state, learning State, Forwarding state and
then back to Blocking State.
The same thing happen over and over.

Any help is appreciated.

Regrads,

-Marc.
