Post by: dashism on September 07, 2010, 08:39:51 AM

net-bridging is the kernel side for that. Appears that nobody has yet built an extension for the userspace bridge tools.

At
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bridge/files/

if you'd like to give it a go.

Some months ago I had done an intense research, in forum, wiki, repos and then with google about bridging & Tiny Core.
Result: Not even a trace.

On the other hand side, having a look at the kernel config files, it appears that net bridging was not supported by the stock kernel used in TC 2.x; but is supported by the new kernel in TC 3.x.

In repo now, and appears extension is older than this thread...   ::)
