Subject: [Bugme-new] [Bug 4158] New: bridge always takes the mac i don't want
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4158
Summary: bridge always takes the mac i don't want
Kernel Version: 2.4+
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Owner: acme@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Submitter: kernel26@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Problem Description:
in some situations your bridge needs to take the mac address of one certain
interface. in my case the isp checks my mac address. currently it is not
possible to choose which mac the bridge takes.
i changed the code somewhat to make it possible to choose the mac of the bridge
by changing the order in which you add interfaces to the bridge. please
consider changing this in the kernel.
code: net/bridge/br_stp_if.c:156
if (addr == br_mac_zero ||
memcmp(p->dev->dev_addr, addr, ETH_ALEN) < 0)
addr = p->dev->dev_addr;
please change it to:
if (addr == br_mac_zero)
addr = p->dev->dev_addr;
