Is it possible to add bridging module to RH 9 w/o recompiling the kernel?
Hi, i wish to know is it possible to add bridging module to Red Hat 9.0 kernel version 2.4.20-8 without recompiling the kernel?
Thanks for any help given.

I believe that the default kernels do not have the bridging functionality. I expect you will have to rebuild the kernel. To test, try running the command "brctrl addbr mybridge" - the mybridge is just a name. If that doesn't work, try a "modprobe -v bridge". If that succeeds, try the first again & you should have bridging functionality available. Again: I expect not.
(Maybe bridging has changed since the 2.2 kernels, so someone else will likely have a better answer.)
