2006-05-23[BRIDGE]: need to ref count the LLC sapStephen Hemminger
Bridge will OOPS on removal if other application has the SAP open. The bridge SAP might be shared with other usages, so need to do reference counting on module removal rather than explicit close/delete. Since packet might arrive after or during removal, need to clear the receive function handle, so LLC only hands it to user (if any).

2006-03-20[BRIDGE]: use llc for receiving STP packetsStephen Hemminger
Use LLC for the receive path of Spanning Tree Protocol packets. This allows link local multicast packets to be received by other protocols (if they care), and uses the existing LLC code to get STP packets back into bridge code. The bridge multicast address is also checked, so bridges using other link local multicast addresses are ignored. This allows for use of different multicast addresses to define separate STP domains.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
