Bridge responds on its IP address even when br0 is down.

[Joakim Tjernlund <joakim.tjernlund@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

System A:
eth0 has ip 192.168.1.16

Then do in system A
brctl addbr br0
ifconfig br0 192.168.1.18 down


>From system B I ping 192.168.1.18
and system A responds!

Even though interface br0 is down I can still
access system A with 192.168.1.18, this feels
like a bridge bug?

Linux version 2.6.33
