Bridge forward detection bug in 11.1-RELEASE?

[Heikki Paatela]

I was having kernel panics with 10.2-RELEASE earlier, caused by
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=202351. It would seem
that some change that has happened between 11.0 and 11.1 has introduced a
similar problem.

The patch fixed the issue for me with 10-stable, and I installed
11.0-RELEASE via freebsd-update and had everything running nicely. Last
week I updated to 11.1-RELEASE via freebsd-update, and started to again
experience problems, where my bridge would stop forwarding traffic if my
AirPort Extreme -base station was connected. This time I'm not experiencing
kernel panics, and I'm not seeing anything peculiar in the log files. The
bridge is headless computer, so I haven't been able to check if it's
otherwise usable, when it stops forwarding traffic.

I didn't report this on bugzilla, as I don't really think I have enough
details on the matter. I have since downgraded back to 11.0-RELEASE, where
everything is again working flawlessly.

Best regards,
