[ECOS] Assign a IP address to a bridge

Hi,

I am trying to assign a IP address to a bridge in ecos, but it just
doesn't work. I am using the example bridge.c and am trying to make a
SIOCSIFADDR  ioctl call to the bridge0. The error message is: "Invalid
Argument".

The bridge itself works without any problems, but without an IP address
. It should be possible, or?
- From the ecos documentation: "A bridge interface responds to all of
the ioctl calls specific to other interfaces listed in netintro."
Can somebody help me? How can I create a bridge and assign a IP address ?

A few more information: I use a custom designed board with a ARM7 core
and two ethernet interfaces. I want to use the spanning tree protocol
and make the board accessible from both interfaces with one ip address.
From what I've read, this should be possible with a bridge and the
spanning tree protocol. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks,

C. Snider
