>Description:
	
	briding beween vlan interfaces seems to be broken:

	configured 2 vlan interfaces & bridging:
	ifconfig vlan2 create
	ifconfig vlan3 create
	ifconfig vlan2 vlan 10 vlandev xl0 up
	ifconfig vlan3 vlan 11 vlandev xl0 up
	sysctl net.link.ether.bridge_cfg=vlan2,vlan3
	sysctl net.link.ether.bridge=1

	pinging a host on vlan3 from a host on vlan2 results in the arp-broadcast message beeing
	bridged from vlan2 to vlan3. the arp-reply is not bridged back to vlan2. the arp-reply 
	can be seen tcpdumping the trunk interface (xl0) running tcpdump on vlan3 (the vlan where 
	the arp-reply should come from) just sees the arp packet but not the reply

	it seems that bridging in this setup works only for ethernet-broadcasts but not for regular
	communication. 

>How-To-Repeat:
	
	see above config.
>Fix:

	
	not using vlan interfaces for bridging
