Subject: query on EAPOL multicast packet with linux bridge interface

Hello,

I have a difficulty with making EAPOL packet forwarding with the Linux
bridge interface.

 I have configured the group_fwd_mask parameter with the below value.

 echo 8 > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/group_fwd_mask

I still could not see the EAPOL packets being forwarded  from the
linux bridge interface . However I can see the EAPOL packets are
forwarded if I use it as a regular interface.

Do we have any more settings?

Regards
Simon
