 Update to the bug report:
 
 It is not only the bridgestp.ko file that is missing.
 
 I've looked at /boot/kernel/*.ko on a system that was binary upgraded 
 from 6.4-RELEASE to 7.3-RELEASE (i386) and compared it with a 7.3-RELEASE
 (i386) system installed from CD.
 
 The upgraded system has a total of 470 kernel modules.
 ls /boot/kernel/*.ko | wc -l
 470
 
 The CD-installed box has 572 kernel modules.
 ls /boot/kernel/*.ko | wc -l
 572
 
 
 Apart from bridgestp.ko, there are 101 other missing modules after the 
 upgrade. :-/
 
 The command 'freebsd-update IDS' does not complain about any of these 
 missing files!
 
 
 
 When diffing the 470 vs 572 files, no modules on the upgraded system are 
 missing on the CD-installed system. All differences (102 in total) are 
 files that exist on the CD-installed system but not on the upgraded one.
 
 Here's a list of all missing kernel modules after upgrade:
