Re: net.link.bridge.member_ifaddrs has landed in stable/14

I have compiled the latest 14-STABLE too and looked at my bridge configuration before changing this net.link.bridge.member_ifaddrs to 0.

After reboot my system did not respond on the IP4 bridge address and it turned out I had forgot "inet6 -auto_linklocal" on the member interface, which only had “up” before.

But now it is working fine.
