Get "Error on net-bridging-5.10.16-piCore-v7.tcz" when trying to download bridge-utils

net-bridging-5.10.16-piCore-v7 posted - thanks for reporting this

When using "sudo brctl addbr br0" I get "add bridge failed: Package not installed"
bridge-utils and net-bridge are both installed.  Is there another package necessary?

Bridge utils only depends on net-bridging-KERNEL.tcz, which depends on ipv6-netfilter-KERNEL.tcz

Otherwise that's it.  Works for me, but I build my own kernels.

The following modules should get loaded when you issue that addbr command.

Code: [Select]

Module                  Size  Used by
bridge                163840  0
stp                    16384  1 bridge
llc                    16384  2 bridge,stp
ipv6                  503808  17 bridge

Hi Paul,
Found the stp amd llc modules were missing and not loaded.  Created extension for those two modules, they now get loaded as dependencies of bridge module.  "brctl addbr" now works.

Hi Paul,
Thank you for you help.  I finally found the answer in a previous post of yours "Bridge Picore"  I wasn't bringing br0 up.  Now the system works great.  Actually faster than my cable modem.  So now I have internet for more than one device anywhere my cell phone works.
