Bridge & it's MAC address question [message #7905]

Hi,

Could somebody explain, why bridge uses minimal MAC of the attached devices?
It makes this address instable, variable during bridge life-cycle, which is
not good for DHCP. For example, I want to attach multiple virtual devices to
one physical. Then, I need to make sure that after each virtual device
addition, bridge addr is not changed and still addr of the physical device.
Why not to use MAC of the first attached device?

Thanks,
Dmitry.
