Hello everyone,

I am trying to build bridge-utils in Yoper from source but I'm getting the following error:

I have recompiled the kernel to allow bridge support (the module exists and everything). I'm using kernel 2.6.8.1 at the moment. I've searched google and this site, and haven't found anything that fits. Any thoughts? I'd like to set up a bridged network. BTW, does anyone know if ppp interfaces can be bridged to ethernet interfaces? Thanks!
