I agree with Luigi's sentiments on the current bridging vs. netgraph.
I'll be more than happy to switch over to using netgraph bridging, as
soon as it has the features I need -- specifically, firewall filtering
via ipfw, ipfilter, or something equivalent.  Lack of filtering in the
current netgraph code is, for me, a non-negotiable showstopper.

Until that's been dealt with, I need the current bridging code to work
properly.  I'm very grateful for everything that people have been doing
in this regard during the past several days.  My bridge basically seems
to be running OK now.  The only remaining problem I'm aware of right
now (and it's a nuisance, but not a showstopping bug) is the "dueling
ARP reply" issue, where both interfaces on the bridge are advertising
themselves to my desktop system.
