 You can replicate this easily with 'ping 255.255.255.255' and
 'tcpdump -i fxp0 -n -e'. tcpdump shows packets being encapsulated to the
 default router's MAC address rather than ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
 
 I see this with both fxp0 and vr0, so I don't think it's driver-specific.
 
 This appears to be a regression from FreeBSD 4.x. See also
