>Description:
	If you have for example the following config:
		lnc1: 192.168.100.1
		tap1: 
	and these interfaces are bridged:
		ifconfig bridge0 addm lnc1 addm tap1 up
	If you now send packets over tap1 to 192.168.100.1 the arp lookup is not answered by 
	bridged host.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	ping and arp -d
>Fix:
	In if_ether.c the detection of the bridge works on every bridge interfaces but
        not for the bridged(if_bridge) interface himself. This dectection is only required if
	there is a cloned bridge interface. So I added these:
