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...
