Having issues with bridging vlan and em in 5.4-STABLE

[Jonathan Feally]

After further testing I have found 2 issues pertaining to my problem.

a. ) MAC on returning packets from box are that of the vlan199 parent 
interface's instead of that of the other em0 interface.
b.) The dns responses are leaving the box on the vlan, but the dst port 
number is getting scrambled in the process. tcpdump on the box shows in 
and out on the same ports, but the host shows out on one and in on 
something else.

Is this an issue with the bridging code, the vlan code, or both??

I have em0 and em1 set with the following
flags UP, BROADCAST, RUNNING, PROMISC, SIMPLEX, MULTICAST
options:  RXCSUM, TXCSUM, VLAN_MTU, POLLING

vlan199 flags UP, BROADCAST, RUNNING, PROMISC, SIMPLEX, MULTICAST
vlan199 has no options.

Anybody else run into this problem? I am running 5-STABLE as of today.
