bridge module doesn't load at boot


Hi

I've compiled my RHEL 4 box with new 2.6.25.14 kernel and booted with new kernel but once booted lsmod doesn't list bridge module. But once I type modeprobe bridge lsmod shows the bridge module.
and once I try to add a bridge by 'brctl addbr br0' it gives the following message

br0: Dropping NETIF_F_UFO since no NETIF_F_HW_CSUM feature.

When the machine is rebooted the problem remains same ( lsmod doesn't show bridge module) with this I can't add a bridge to the system. and if i type 'brctl addbr br0' (before doing modprobe bridge) it give the following result

add bridge failed: Package not installed.

Thanx in advance for any help !!

On debian /etc/modules specifies modules to load at boot time, maybe you have something similar on RH that you could add bridge to.
