ethernet cable)
i asked this question in order to learn if theres an interface in
Fedora ,as in xp, to select my cards and establish a brigde between
them too. or a command to do this job for me ?
thanks...
If you're looking for a gui interface, I'm afraid I can't help you
there, but there is a way to do it through the command line. It's not
terribly difficult as long as you can edit files and restart services
through the CLI. You want to look into the bridge-utils package. It'll
provide the programs you need.
Here are two links I used to help set me up (you'll probably need to
google some more info, but this should get you started):

You may also want to look into ebtables (mentioned in one of the
articles). I haven't gotten around to investigating into it yet, so I've
got no comment on how it works, but I saw it a lot while googling for
info, so it's just something to keep in mind.
Hope this helps you,
Justin Willmert
