Applying desired patches

[Dan Vande More]

I even tried applying this by hand, but was unsuccessful, nothing
errored, it just still didn't work.
I had to fall back to plan b of just natting using this box. 
However, I do intend on figuring this out. 
Thanks for your help Jens!

Dan

Just write the patch into bridge.patch and 
'cd /usr/src/sys/netinet && patch -p0 < bridge.patch'. That should do
the trick.
