+ Utilities for configuring the Linux ethernet bridge
+
+ This package contains utilities for configuring the
+ Linux ethernet bridge in Linux 2.4 or later.
+
+ The Linux ethernet bridge can be used to tie multiple
+ ethernet devices together. The connection is fully
+ transparent: hosts connected to one ethernet device
+ can see all hosts connected to any of the other
+ ethernet devices directly.
