2) When a bridge's MAC address is set in that way, as Daniel says, no traffic passes. (Why is that, anyway?) A bridge device *must* have a MAC address that machines one of its enslaved devices. It can't have its own MAC address. The bridge will automatically obtain the MAC of the first interface enslaved normally.
Yeah, I understand that *is* the case. I'm just curious what the logic behind that is. It's certainly not the case for an actual hardware bridge...
