I agree, would be nicer to have it in the forwarding db.
However to which bridge port should i attach this entry?
Seems to be wrong for me to have it attached to a not
related port...
The intention of this patch is to set the bridge MAC to any
address, not related to an bridge port interface.
Cheers
Ulrich
