Building a Raw Bridge

Hi All,
I think the little diagram of the circuit became a mess when transmitted. How about this attempt? This is the hub of a hub and spoke topology and there is normally only one transmit and multiple receivers

Here is what one end of the link looks like.

                  +-------------+

       + eth0 +---+   bridge 1  +---+ wan0 ---> Transmit

       |          +-------------+ 
       |                          
switch--+                          
       |          +-------------+ 
       + eth0 +---+   bridge 2  +---+ wan0 <--- Receive

                  +-------------+

What you are doing is not really a bridge, so of course it won't work. If you need to glue devices together, and the performance overhead isn't too high do it in user space.
