Suggestion: ifconfig br0 0.0.0.0

I'm using a patch right now that adds vlan support to linux. It creates
virtual interfaces on top of a real one. So, I have eth0, vlan12, vlan13,
and vlan14, for example. For eth0, I just set the address to 0.0.0.0. I
can sniff on that interface just fine and I don't think any traffic will
normally come in on that interface. (Anyone: Am I wrong?)
