Even if a bridge is empty it seems impossible to add pppoe to it. This doesn't change if the first bridge member has an MTU identical to that of the pppoe interface (thank you to Martin Reindl for a patch enabling mtu changes on Sun quad ethernet). For my own, and anyone else's reference, the bridge's own MTU is hardcoded to ETHERMTU (1500).

Now, I can go through the source to if_bridge.c and find the definitive answer, but I thought I'd ask here in case anyone had an immediate answer, even if delving into the depths of OpenBSD is new knowledge for me. The bridge and brconfig man pages aren't illuminating in this regard.

Alternatively, it would be good to know if I'm doing something foolish, if I find a way to get the source to accept pppoe interfaces - could there be a hidden side effect?
