We are close to having a user level RSTP..  
Aji Srinivas did a version, but it had a number of things I wanted to fix
before releasing. The kernel pieces are in the pre 2.6.22 tree. And
the user-level code is in git tree:

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shemminger/rstp.git

IT DOESN'T WORK YET.
