 I will test this later this evening as I'm trying to get work done now
 (after having solved the immediate problem).  However, if this is the
 case, I respectfully submit that this should be a doc-bug, then, as
 there is no clue in the if_bridge manual page that addresses on the
 added ethernet segments will not work correctly.
 
 Dave.
