Not too sure how my eth0 picked up an address like that, but hey!
root@feeg:~# brctl addbr mybridge
root@feeg:~# brctl addif mybridge eth0
root@feeg:~# brctl addif mybridge eth1
root@feeg:~# brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
mybridge 8000.000ae43508a3 no eth0
eth1
Seems in order..
However, my laptop now has no connectivity! I can't ping my router
(192.168.1.1) etc. I'm not sure about pinging the debian box (it's
totally headless) as I don't know it's IP address.
Here's an output of route after the above commands:
root@feeg:~# route

I'm not sure what's going on, but it seems as soon as I bring up the
bridge connectivity just goes.
Any ideas?
Thanks very much in advance!
John.
