Understand the need, but don't like idea of bridge behaving in non-conforming manner. Will see if IEEE 802 committee has any input. Also, don't want to build more knobs in with sysfs that are per-bridge. Eventually, the plan is to make all the setting per-port with sysctl's like IPv6. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
