Existing 2.4 kernels work on 2.6, no API changes.
I am planning on an update later when STP is moved out of the kernel.
my god, what protocol could I use for STP replacement after it's removed
from the kernal code then ?!

that would be slower than kernel hardcoded, right ?

I don't think so.
I think it will work the same (except you'll get a Segmentation fault vs.
OOPS). :)

Yup, that's right. Many people have requested enhanced STP support, and rather
than continuing to do it all in the kernel, the right way to do it is to have
a well-defined API (probably netlink), and a separate user level process to manipulate
the underlying routing. Then (hopefully with help from the community) the daemon can
be enhanced (or replaced) as needed.
Don't worry ;-) the kernel and system won't break. The existing in kernel STP
support will stay (probably as an option) for the life of 2.6; to accommodate
users using the existing utils.
