 OK, after swapping out the nge(4) based cards and all
 associated cables, I am of the tentative conclusion that the
 problem lies with either the nge(4) driver or the Asante
 Friendly Net GigaNIX 1000TA cards and not the bridge. The
 problem as reported appears to be gone with the following
 arrangement:
 
 sk0 -> busy segment
 rl0 -> test link 1
 re0 test link 2
 
 and also
 
 sk0 -> router
 rl0 -> busy segment
 re0 -> test link
 
 and also
 sk0 -> router
 rl0 -> test link
 re0 busy segment
 
 I have three of these Asante cards, all 3 were tested and
 produced the failure condition as described.  I will
 continue to test once I obtain a couple more re(4) based
 cards. The sk(4) interface is a board-integrated chip. If
 you desire one of the Asante cards for testing, let me now.
