What you described is a different interface for tx and rx. What you've drawn is separate tx and rx radios which are melded in the driver and expose a single interface "wan0". Which is it? (If the drawing is correct, I don't think you have a problem at all, aside from trying to use two bridges when you need only one)<br>

I'm having trouble figuring out how to make a bridge that does not block<br>
forwarding of packets when there is no receive channel in the same<br>
bridge. The reason I want to do this is that the return path is via<br>
another circuit. The two directions are on two different radios. I would<br>
think this would be like the response given to someone in July 2007<br>
about setting a "hub" mode by setting the aging timer to 0. I tried that<br>
and it did not work.<br>
<br>
I also tried a few schemes with ebtables without success either. Is<br>
there some relatively easy way to make the bridge forward everything and<br>
not cut off the transmit after a single packet?<br>
<br>
/ Here is what one end of the link looks like.<br>
//<br>
// +-------------+<br>
// /// /// + eth0 +---+ bridge 1 +---+ wan0 ---> Transmit<br>
// | +-------------+<br>
// |<br>
//switch--+<br>
// | +-------------+<br>
// + eth0 +---+ bridge 2 +---+ wan0 <--- Receive<br>
// +-------------+<br>

The WAN side uses a synchronous serial interface to the radios for<br>
satellite communications. The other end uses a single radio and bridge.<br>
