[Avila] Bridging question with openwrt interfaces

I've been giving the latest trunk of Openwrt on my Avila boards and most
things seems to work really well.  I seem to be having an issue with the
new ethernet driver that's now in the kernel mainline.  I'm using
2.6.25.4 in my current build.

I have 2 wireless interfaces Ath1 and Ath0 and two ethernet ports Eth0
and Eth1.  In the network setup I've made Eth0, Eth1, and Ath0 all on
one bridged interface br-lan.  I'm using Ath1 as a backbone between my
boxes.  so from any other connection Ath1 goes to I can ping Ath1 and
br-lan  just fine, but whenever I try to ping any device connected to
Eth0, Eth1, or on Ath1 (local ap ) I can't ping them.  It's like the
packets just get lost or the kernel doesn't know how to handle the
routing.

                                         Avila 2345 router
*192.168.1.20* ----------[Eth0--------*br-lan(192.168.1.1.)*
---Ath1(10.10.0.1)]------------(rest of network)



192.168.1.20 cant' talk to anything on (rest of network)
(rest of network) can't talk to 192.168.1.20

but...

192.168.1.1 can talk to (rest of network)
(rest of network) can talk to 192.168.1.1

I think this is a driver issue with the mainline kernel ixp4xx driver,
but I could be wrong.  I know this works with the Intel Ixp4xx drivers.

Anyone got any ideas?
