Subject: [ts-7000] bridge in 2.4.26-ts11 [was 2.4.26-ts11 update-modules and depmod problems]

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),
Don
