Hi,
there were last month some untested changes to the bridging code
which might have been the source of the problem.
Unfortunately i cannot help much on this until i have
the time to setup a system and test it (maybe sometime in july,
hopefully before 4.1 release)

This said:

> 	sysctl -w net.link.ether.bridge_cfg=dc0:1,dc1:0,dc2:1

saying "dc1:0" does not mean it is not used, it means it is used
on cluster 0 (which, when i have the time to commit my VLAN-bridge
stuff, will correspond to a TRUNK interface). To avoid using
an interface for bridging, simply omit it from the list.

However, the code should be a bit smarter and if a cluster only
has one interface then that interface should not be put
in promisc mode.

	cheers
	luigi
