DLSw was created to get around the problems that occur when one tries to
bridge (any method) SNA. If one can live with the problems, then yes,
transparent bridging will bridge the 802.2 frames which contain SNA.

Subject: RE: SNA
FreeBSD wouldn't need DLSw to simply bridge SNA/NetBIOS. It would just
need transparent bridging support on interfaces. I think this has been
merged into 2.2-stable. For tunneling, it would need STUN or DLSw
support.
