feel free.. I don't think it has been done,

whether one adds it to that node or a separate node that hooks
onto the side of it might be a reasonable question.. (but I don't
know enough about STP to judge..)  I dont' know how well the code
in if_bridge will port over, or iff it can be made a common module.
