Earlier, I reported an ARP problem on a 4.2-STABLE bridge system.
A few people wrote me privately, advising me to include a firewall
rule passing UDP packets on port 2054 to/from the IP address 0.0.0.0.
I've tried this, but it doesn't help any. I should mention, though,
that I don't think this firewall rule is relevant in any case.
First, the "port 2054" kludge doesn't appear to be in the networking
code any more. I grep'ed the entire -STABLE base source for any
references to UDP port 2054, and I found nothing at all except for
the commented-out line in the etc/rc.firewall file. As far as I'm
aware, bridging of non-IP packets is now controlled by the kernel's
default "ipfw" rule -- and, yes, I do have the options IPFIREWALL
and IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT in my configuration.
Second, I'm not talking about bridging of ARP packets anyway. I'm
trying to connect directly to the bridge machine -- but the bridge
is failing to respond to requests for its own hardware address on
its "rl0" interface.
