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?
