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.
