This patchfile implements bridging and dummynet (a bandwidth
manager etc.) in FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE. This code has only been
tested on i386 machines with "ed" cards, although it essentially
the same that has been in use for a long time on -stable.

Dummynet should work correctly on Alpha machines as well.

The brigdge code will likely not compile on Alpha machines
because some macros for comparing ethernet addresses might not
work. Also, there might be alignment problems in the bridging
code.

To use this code, do the following:

  1) make sure you have sources for the kernel (/usr/src/sys),
     ipfw /usr/src/sbin/ipfw/ and manpages sec.4
     /usr/src/share/man/man4/ -- the latter are optional, patch
     will just complain and reject a couple of hunks.

  2) patch the sources:

	cd /usr
	patch < patchfile

  3) optionally, copy manpages in place

	cp /usr/src/share/man/man4/dummynet.4 /usr/share/man/man4
	cp /usr/src/share/man/man4/bridge.4 /usr/share/man/man4

Then follow the instructions in the manpages on how to configure
and compile a kernel. Additional info are at
