Just a quicky.  Since we now support IPv6 by default, you can imagine
environments where you have an interface and IPv4 is not in use.  My
tcpdump is from a rather elderly 4.0, so this may be fixed already, but:

  # tcpdump -eni bridge0
  tcpdump: WARNING: bridge0: no IPv4 address assigned
  tcpdump: listening on bridge0

That seems a litte gratuitous.  I'm quite aware that there is no IPv4
address assigned--that was intentional :-).  (This is a bridge snooping
interface--I don't want an IPv4 address)  If this is already fixed,
nevermind.. :-)
