New Revision: 225380
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/225380

Log:
  On the first loop for generating a bridge MAC address use the local
  hostid, this gives a good chance of keeping the same address over
  reboots. This is intended to help IPV6 and similar which generate
  their addresses from the mac.
