Well, the thing here is that since de beginning of the bridge code it was
recommended not to add ip addresses to the bridge ports, this was a long
time ago, and maybe it has changed, if so, I'd like to know when.

But anyway... why would you want to have
an IP v4 or v6 on the bridge ports? why not having it on the bridge itself?

Regards.
