I can't quite seem to locate the bridge extensions to iproute2.
Mentioned for example at:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commit;h=b078f0df676233fc7ebc1ab270bd11ef5824bb64
I'm interested in finding a way to disable the stp and learning on a
bridge and manually from userspace configuring the mac forwarding
database.
[for basically a userspace STP implementation, which wouldn't actually
be a tree]
Can this be done?
Thanks,
- Maciej

I will get back to these. There wasn't a motivation to go fast because
there wasn't a user of these. Now with fdb offload support they are needed.

Do you have some semi-ready patches that could be used for test purposes?
While it looks like the forwarding database capability is there in the kernel,
I can't currently find an interface to turn learning off.

I cleaned it up an put in 3.5.0 just released version.

Thanks. Would it make sense to merge bridge-utils / brctl into iproute2?
