Re: CPU Utiliaztion on a ethernet bridge

[Serkan Hamarat <serkan@efes.net.tr>]

I don't know is it make any sense but I've compiled
bridge as integrated, not as module.
And I don't state any line in "interfaces" file about
bridged interfaces; Only br0 exists.
Also I'm using br0 as external interface.
