These patches allow you bridge between two segments using a linux box.
The main motivation is to bridge IPX packets across linux acting
as IP router. It can however be used for bridging all protocols
with facility for selectively disabling required protocols.
(Earlier program, IPXbridge, is now obsolete.)

Title: bridge-patches-for-1.2.11.tar.gz
Version:
Entered-date: 8 July 1995
Description: These kernel patches provide intelligent bridging between
the ethernet devices in the kernel. These patches
replace the earlier program IPXbridge, which was
specific to IPX protocol only. As opposed to that,
these patches by default bridge all the protocols.
However, you can select the protocols which should not
be bridged before compiling the (patched) kernel.
Consider these patches to be beta. Please report
the memory leaks if any.
Using this, you can provide IPX connectivity across
a linux IP router.
Read the file linux/net/inet/README.bridge for more
details.
