Synopsis: Ethernet driver if_vr.c (VIA Technologies)

State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback
State-Changed-By: johan
State-Changed-When: Mon Aug 14 11:40:58 PDT 2000
State-Changed-Why: 
From rev 1.28 of this file
"Move code to handle BPF and bridging for incoming Ethernet packets out
of the individual drivers and into the common routine ether_input().
Also, remove the (incomplete) hack for matching ethernet headers
in the ip_fw code.

The good news: net result of 1016 lines removed, and this should make
bridging now work with *all* Ethernet drivers.

The bad news: it's nearly impossible to test every driver, especially
for bridging, and I was unable to get much testing help on the mailing
lists."

Please try the bridging in FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE (it has been MFC:d)
and report back if it works with this driver.

Responsible-Changed-Why: 
Archie will be interested in the feedback and this is also
a MFC to 3.x reminder. If it is not possible to MFC maybe
you can apply the suggested patch for 3.x.
Forget the MFC part this has benn fixed in rev 1.7.2.4.
