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

Quoted 4 lines

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?

Are the eth0, eth1 marked as up? also it takes a while for the spanning tree timers to go from learning to forwarding state. Look at brctl show stp br0
