Subject: [PATCH 1/4] bridge: don't change packet type

From: Stephen Hemminger <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2007 16:47:38 -0700

The change to forward STP bpdu's (for usermode STP) through normal path,
changed the packet type in the process. Since link local stuff is multicast, it
should stay pkt_type = PACKET_MULTICAST.  The code was probably copy/pasted
incorrectly from the bridge pseudo-device receive path.
