    Sorry, I can't test at the moment. But I'd like to express my small
    wish about your future import to FreeBSD.

    When I have looked at it in NetBSD source tree, I've noticed that
    STP support is quite separate from the if_bridge itself. I like
    this very much. And it will be very useful if in FreeBSD the
    STP kernel "library" won't depend on if_bridge at all. I'm asking
    for this because I'd like to have STP support to ng_bridge(4) using
    the same engine as if_bridge does.
