[PATCH] bridge: Forward reserved group addresses if !STP

From: Benjamin Poirier
Date: Mon Oct 18 2010 - 22:16:37 EST


Make all frames sent to reserved group MAC addresses (01:80:c2:00:00:00 to
01:80:c2:00:00:0f) be forwarded if STP is disabled. This enables
forwarding EAPOL frames, among other things.
