Can't bind IP to my bridge at boot time

[Noah K Sematimba]

My guess is that the sysctl file gets called sometime by /etc/rc and thus
if you can place the section that calls /etc/rc.sysctl at another section
in that file then you would be ok.

According to http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html  you can use the
send-pr program to submit a bug report.
