>Description:
        
$ cat /etc/ifconfig.bridge0
create
!brconfig $int \
        add tap0 \
        up
$

The brconfig command in the above example stopped working with the change in
revision 1.54 of etc/rc.d/network by apb.

>How-To-Repeat:
        
cat >/etc/ifconfig.bridge99 <<'EOT'
create
!brconfig $int \  
        add tap0 \
        up
EOT
/etc/rc.d/network restart

>Fix:
        
revert the following (gratuitious?) part of rev. 1.54:
