hi all,

I am using centos3.5 for my firewall home. I would like to do some tests with bridge firewalling. When i try to create the bridge, brctl givtes me this error: br_add_bridge: Package not installed.

i find some answers about this error, but the most important is the one that says driver is not loaded into kernel. In my /boot/config-2.4.21-32.0.1.EL file appears compiled as a module, but how can i load it with modprobe?? .... :((

Thanky you

I guess, that brctl will not load the module automatically and your system doesn't either...

Try it this way:

[root@pluto ~]# modprobe bridge; lsmod | grep bridge bridge 52953 0

It's a FC4 in my case, but this should work with CentOS also...

Best, Oliver
