Hi,

I am looking for testers and code review for if_bridge, the bridge
implementation from NetBSD (and OpenBSD).

The patch and instructions can be found at:

http://people.freebsd.org/~thompsa/

Highlights include:
 - 802.1d spanning tree support
 - management of the bridge MAC table
 - view bridged packets with bpf(4)
 - good firewall support


I am especially interested in people who can test !i386, and users with
existing STP networks. I am looking forward to getting your feedback!


Andrew
