[9fans] network bridge

[Sergey Reva]

Hello Fans,

This is a little memo, how I setup network bridge on my machine
Correct me if I wrong

1. Put 2 adapter
2. run ip/config for one of them, as cpurc or termrc do
3. bind -a '#l1' /net    - bind secondary adapter
4. bind -a '#B' /net     - bind bridge device into some folder
5. setting up bridge device
   echo 'bind ether outer 0 /net/ether0' >/net/bridge0/ctl
   echo 'bind ether inner 0 /net/ether1' >/net/bridge0/ctl

Where is man page for bridge???

That looks believable.  I've never been impressed with
devbridge's usability.  It was written for an embedded VPN
app and worked great there but I used to get kernel panics
on unbind (or not be able to unbind at all) when I tried to
use it on a regular machine.  (The VPN app never unbound.)

Doesn't exist, sorry.  I would consider devbridge very much
a work in progress.
