It has been fixed for 5 years. The problem was fixed by: commit 0397c6aa48769505e6aa4481f0786c8f4eaaf890 Author: Jeremy Jackson <jerj@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue May 8 11:10:34 2007 -0700 I've noticed for a while that output is showing 0 for port_no and port_id It seems that somewhere in 2.6 sysfs land the following items got printed in hexadecimal, and brctl code was parsing for decimal only doug:/sys/class/net/eth0/brport# cat port_id 0x8001 doug:/sys/class/net/eth0/brport# cat port_no 0x1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
