If anyone has this working and has actually tested it (I am actually just doing IP based iptables filtering from my bridge interface) please let us know what version of iproute you used and what patches you applied and with which version of the kernel.

I just got this working under 2.4.25 on a different test rig (with only 
2 interfaces) - installed Debian Testing, patched and compiled a kernel 
with relevant stuff, start the bridge, apply tc rules, and *poof* 
packets get filtered/classified properly. All within 1.5 hrs.

`tc -s class show dev eth0` shows the right stuff going through the 
right filters at the right rate.

Versions/patches:
    iproute-20010824-13, from Debian testing
    iptables-1.2.9, from Debian testing (Used: iptables -t mangle -A 
PREROUTING -i eth1 -j MARK --set-mark 0x4 --> no ebtables needed)
    ebtables-brnf-5-vs-2.4.25 patch from ebtables.sourceforge.net
    kernel-2.4.25, with above ebtables patch

Hopefully it'll still work with 3 interfaces when I get 2.4.25 on the 
original test rig!

Cheers,
