Anyone got any experience - excepting those who already know what I'm
getting at, as you be involved in this ickle project already - of using
USB Ethernet adapters under Linux?
And, if so... have you ever faffed with the bridging extensions to the
kernel? Did it work?
So many questions ;-)
Basically I have a situation as follows:
Pooter with one ethernet, one USB port which I'd like to be able to use as
a bridge.
The ethernet port on its' own work fine, and networks as per ususal.
The USB port... ditto.
Add them into a bridge... and it all stops. I suspect what's happening is
that because the ethernet card is interrupt-driven per packet at the PCI
level, but the USB port isn't (it sort of emulates PCI) that the packets
never get handed off to the bridge module for processing.
Not being terribly well-versed with C, I'm finding it rather tricky to
figger out what's going on. Anyone else tried it?
