  Hi Bjoern,

I do have an openvpn setup which also creates a bridge. At one point in 
time it conflicted with the bridge0 interface used for the jails. The 
openvpn 'up' script did the following:

#!/bin/sh
/sbin/ifconfig bridge0 create
/sbin/ifconfig bridge0 addm nfe0 addm $dev up
/sbin/ifconfig $dev up

It may have executed a couple of times while bridge0 already existed and 
had the epairs as members. I don't recall the epair's 'a'-end having 
different ethernet addresses before, but I haven't specifically looked 
at them. I don't believe I do any manual collision detection.
I'm not sure whether this answers your questions, if you need any more 
info please let me know.

Frank
