As far as I can tell, the "rl" device is (or, at least, is supposed to
be) supported by the bridge code.

"ifconfig rl0" on my bridge shows the interface is running in promis-
cuous mode, and bridging works perfectly for me in all respects other
than ARP.

The "rl0" card in my bridge is identified as an "Accton MPX 5030/5038",
and I'm running it in 100baseTX full-duplex mode (connected to another
machine via a crossover cable).
