>Description:
      with both net.link.ether.ipfw=1 and  net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw=1 packets transmitted via an interface that is a part of a bridge cluster are not checked against ipfw rules in either ether_output_frame() or bdg_forward(). This means that traffic originating from a bridging host or routed from non-bridged interface will not be checked agains layer2-specific ipfw rules. this problem is only specific IPFW2, because with IPFW1 you can set layer2 rules anyway.
>How-To-Repeat:
      on a bridinging host with IPFW2,
Actions:
1. sysctl net.link.ether.ipfw=1 
2. sysctl net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw=1 
3. ipfw add 1 allow mac <mac address of host H on bridged subnet> any
4. ping H
Result:
rule 1 will not have any matches 
>Fix:
      it's very tempting to suggest to remove check for src != NULL at sys/net/bridge.c:860, but not being an expert in the network code, I am not sure about possible interdependencies/side-effects.
