Summary:                    Bridge-utils broken under kernel 2.4
Description: 
Snapshot buildroot-20080905

The bridge-utils package compiles but the brctl command fails.
The error message is:
# brctl addbr br0
add bridge failed: Invalid argument

I think this is a problem with the bridge-utils 1.4. The former version
1.06 works fine.

My configuration is: 386, kernel 2.4, busybox 1.11.x
The project is openMGB, a RDC based NAS with WAP.
