No packet at all is bridged.
I will wait an occurrence of this issue and then send you the "brctl showmacs"
results with my comments.

The r1869 driver is not working with my hardware

With the r8169 modules the Ethernet link is not coming up even if the driver
loads without any error message.
(ignore the board #0, I'm preparing some test to verify whether or not a new
hardware fixes the problem)

I have compiled the driver from the source as if I try to install the r8168
module in yast I always get the error message that Ksym(desktop:dump_stack) =
6b2dc060 can't be found. (is there a fix?)
