Hi:

It turns out that even though we have sysctl's that's supposed
to control pppoe/vlan processing, they don't actually work.

This patch should make them work.

bridge: Fix handling of non-IP packets in FORWARD/POST_ROUTING

Currently the bridge FORWARD/POST_ROUTING chains treats all
non-IPv4 packets as IPv6.  This packet fixes that by returning
NF_ACCEPT on non-IP packets instead, just as is done in PRE_ROUTING.

Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>


Cheers,

Which reminds me - I think we should change them to default to off,
they regulary break things for unsuspecting users. I'm not sure
though what the best way to warn people for a while would be,
feature-removal-schedule doesn't seem approriate.

Applied, thanks.
