[systemd-devel] [PATCH] Add FDB support

[Jóhann B. Guðmundsson]

The "in the field" problem is that after what firmware 1.7 changes with
Intel network drivers or what not things broke due to the fact that network
interfaces settings did not get inherited to the bridge interface and we
need to avoid that problem, which is why I think we need to redefine how we
fundamentally are defining type network devices
