I will check this patch out. With the IP address shortage being what it is, almost no broadband customer gets assigned /30 or /31 addresses anymore for routing, unless they pay the big bucks. Almost all residential DSL installations now put the gateway right on your assigned /29 network. A conventional routing firewall can't handle this, as the untrusted gateway must sit right there on your LAN (a fox in the henhouse!). So, bridging is what I (and many others) do. The primary purpose of my main Linux box is bridging. Thank you very much for making this patch.
