            Bug ID: 217374
           Summary: tap(4) shall be full-duplex and have non-zero speed.
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.0-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any

          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---

patch for if_tap.c

For now tap(4) devices advertise itself as just 'ethernet autoselect',
without duplex or speed capabilities. This advertisement makes them
unable to be aggregated into lacp-based lagg(4):
- lacp code requires underlying interfaces to be full-duplex,
else interface will not participate in lacp at all[1]
- lacp code requires underlying interface to have non-zero speed,
else this interface can not be selected as active aggregator[2].
