i think that whole ``#ifdef BRIDGE'' section can be removed from the code.
``ether_input'' seems to be take care of it. it also feeds frame to ``bpf'',
so it also can be removed. thanks to Nick Sayer for the hint :)

i just got e-mail that makes a good point about Ethernet bridging

it seems freebsd 4.x bridgin code is somewhat broken.. (it initializes the 
tables of devices it can bridge at boot time).. thus tap0 isnt available
yet..

so basically bridging doesnt work ;(

ooops :) will check on it :) seems to me we need some interface to
add/remove interfaces to/from bridge.

Thanks,
emax
