Luigi,

I've been reading through the bridge/ipfw code, and can't seem to find a
place where eh->ether_type is checked to see if it is ETHERTYPE_IP before
the firewall rules are evaluated.  I was wondering if the check is not
taking place, or if so, where it takes place?

net/bridge.c:
...
        /*
         * before calling the firewall, swap fields the same as IP does.
         * here we assume the pkt is an IP one and the header is
contiguous
         */
        eh = mtod(m, struct ether_header *);
        ip = (struct ip *)(eh + 1 ) ;
        NTOHS(ip->ip_len);
        NTOHS(ip->ip_id);
        NTOHS(ip->ip_off);
...

Thanks,

  Robert N M Watson
