setportprio problem with bridge-utils 1.0.6

I'm having a problem with brctl when I want to set prio in a bridge port.

When I execute:

brctl setbridgeprio br0 eth1 10

(for example)

I can see how that value (10) is asigned to the port cost.

Is this a known issue with this version?

I detected this with FC5 bridge-utils package and with dd-wrt bridge-utils.

Any help about this?

All it ends up doing is writing a 10 to /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/port_cost

The problem (or feature) is that the bridge will autodetect the port cost based on the link speed when the bridge or port is started up. So you need to change the port cost after the bridge is already running to cause any effect.

Thanks Stepen, again, and sorry for my english, perhaps is this the problem too: my english.

I want to set port prio, to values as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.. (little values), my problem is that when I run:

brctl setportprio br0 eth1 3

That "3" goes to "port cost" no goes into "port priority", that is my problem.

Any help more?
