Aha. These MAC addresses seem to be used in the forwarding database. Maybe setting the ageing time to 0 (man brctl) would help... > Unfortunately, I have no real solution to the problem. What kernel version are you using (on the GN)? I noticed in the changelog for 2.6.6 there were a number of bridge-related changes, e.g.: [BRIDGE]: Forwarding database changes. Make forwarding database more robust. + Don't insert invalid ether address, + Report errors back so adding an interface to bridge can fail + get rid of unneeded explicit pads in data structure + replace bitfields with byte's for simple booleans. Maybe that fixes our problem? I might be able to try 2.6.6 and the ageing timer tonight... BTW, have you written to the bridge people? Regards.
