Suddenly I can no longer create a bridge. I use it with qemu and
usually do

kldload if_bridge

Then

ifconfig bridge0 create

When I did that today I got

ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE2: Invalid argument

I see a mention of an almost identical problem from August of last year.

(Sorry about the wordwrap on the link.)

However, I've seen nothing recent so I don't know if this is just me or
not.

Thank you to anyone who can offer some insight.



dmesg|tail will likely tell you the bridgestp module is missing.
