This doesn't solve the problem that I'm seeing on re(4) interfaces.
It basically shows up as quagga establishing OSPF neighours as
"Exchange/DR" when VLAN hardware tagging is enabled.  I'm running
OSPF over 802.1Q vlans.  Neighbours are correctly negotiated once
VLAN hardware tagging is disabled on the interface.

I'll do more debugging.
