Linux Bridge question

[ses123]

I have installed the bridge utilities on my linux box but looks like bridge modules are not loaded. I downloaded bridge.0 from sourceforge.net but it is giving me some errors like these:

/bridge.o: unresolved symbol br_fdb_put_hook
/bridge.o: unresolved symbol br_fdb_get_hook
/bridge.o: unresolved symbol gr_is_capable

Can someone help me with this plzz..

Thanks

I think you need to recompile your kernel. The modules aren't compatible.

I have recompiled my kernel to 2.4.20 already.. from 2.4.18.. doesnt work!!

Ok, and you remembered to recompile and install the modules as well?? Is the bridge functionality modules??
Did you install the kernel correctly??

You need to recompile the bridge modules or pick up a set
of utilities that can handle the newest kernel version.

In that order???

Do

# make config
# make dep
# make clean
# make bzImage
# make modules
# make modules_install
# cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-<today's date>
# vi /etc/lilo.conf
Add a stanza with your new kernel
# lilo -v
# reboot

When the LILO: prompt appears type the label of the new kernel.
If it works you have to make the new kernel the default.
