Log Message:
vether: Implement a virtual ethernet interface

The vether interface simulates a normal Ethernet interface by encapsulating
standard network frames with an Ethernet header, specifically for use as
a member in a bridge(4).

To use vether the administrator needs to configure an address onto the
interface so that packets can be routed to it. An Ethernet header will
be prepended and, if the vether interface is a member of a bridge(4),
the frame will show up there.

Taken from OpenBSD.
