'Enabling' bridging is a no-op.. However, when you -configure- a
couple of interfaces together in a bridge, they share this behaviour;
but this is correct as bridging is supposed to effectively merge the
chosen interfaces into one. This does not affect any other interfaces,
which makes it substantially different from the Linux behaviour.

Cheers, Peter
