Bridge not working...

I've got a 2.6.8 kernel with bridging enabled as a module, two nics (LNE100TX and RTL8139) and i've run the following commands with no errors

modprobe -v bridge
brctl addbr br0
brctl addif br0 eth0
brctl addif br0 eth1

both interfaces have 0.0.0.0 as their addresses and brctl showmacs br0 shows the macs for both internal cards. However, bridging doesn't seem to be working at all. What am I missing or what else can I try to debug what might be wrong?

thanks

Try "ifconfig br0 up"
