Wild -- that's not what I'd have guessed. I suppose it allows you to
insert rules for interfaces that don't exist yet, which is a good thing.

Anyhow, I'm inclined to take the patch to disable filtering in the
bridge unless anyone strongly objects. People should still have the
option of applying rules on the vifX.X interface, right?
