Hi Nick,

To post a patch for iproute2, you should send it to 
Stephen Hemminger <[email-masked]> who is the maintainer of iproute2.

Stephen, I also noticed this problem and thought should ask you for the final
name of the brige extension. Personally I prefer br, it is short and
distingushable enough.

Thanks.
