[this is only marginally related to the problems i was having
last weekend; we tried a test setup in CPH on an alpha -current,
with tlp(4) onboard, and a wi(4).  unfortunately, this didn't
work as a way of reproducing the data corruption problem...]

bridge(4) says:

     A bridge can be used to provide several services, such as a simple
     802.11-to-Ethernet bridge for wireless hosts

while this may be true, i was told that the reason it isn't
working in practise with wi(4) lucent/orinoco
gold/silver cards because the firmware does not allow for changing
MAC addresses on the wireless media.
