Frustrated at the inability to resolve this problem, I attempted to modify the
.config file to set CONFIG_BRIDGE=y, rather than =m. This option is not given
on the "make menuconfig" menu, so I had to manually edit the file to do it.
Depmod then worked without any unresolved symbol errors.
However, when I then tried to use bridge-utils by typing:
:modules# brctl addbr br0
add bridge failed: Package not installed
D'OH! An FAQ on the web indicates:
Q: I get the error "br_add_bridge: Package not installed" when trying to add a
bridge, why is that?
A: This happens if you don't have bridging support compiled into your kernel,
or the module isn't loaded.
Sigh... So, neither CONFIG_BRIDGE=y or CONFIG_BRIDGE=m works. How the heck
does one compile bridging support into the kernel if not by doing one of those?
Confused (obviously),
