Subject: looking for veth like.
Hi,
I need to inter-connect two bridges together.
I want to get this:
----------------                 ------------------
|       br0     |                 |         br1      |
----------------                 ------------------
   (veth0) ^                  ^ (veth1)
                 |___________|
So with my current kernel release (2.6.28-17), I used the virtual Ethernet pair device (veth) kernel module associated to the IP utility.
I did it as follows:
# First bridge
brclr addbr br0
ifconfig br0 up
# Second bridge
brctl addbr br1
ifconfig br1 up
# veth link
ip link add name veth0 type veth peer name veth1
ifconfig veth0 up
ifconfig veth1 up
# insertion
brctl addif br0 veth0
brctl addif br1 veth1
And for such kernel release it works fine.
But now I want to do so with an oldest kernel release (2.6.18-8 for instance).
This old release do not provide the virtual Ethernet pair device module.
Is there a way to  do the same with that oldest kernel release ? 
It there an veth-like module ? (I saw some stuffs suche as etun but can not get it... ?)
Thanks,
Christian.
