It doesn't make a lot of difference:
root@gothmog:/root# kldstat | grep stp
17 1 0xc58f0000 4000 bridgestp.ko
root@gothmog:/root# ifconfig bridge0 create
ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE2: Invalid argument
root@gothmog:/root#
This is with a kernel built from a checkout of 2006.08.11.10.58.24:
$ uname -v
FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #0: Fri Aug 11 22:23:01 EEST 2006 \
