Hi Simon,

Unbridged ports should be working now with current driver/device.  I
wonder if you have an older qemu rocker device?  Use master branch of
https://github.com/scottfeldman/qemu-rocker.git.

My test setup is to IPv4 ping two hosts from two different ports.
Something like:

sw1:sw1p1:11.0.0.1/24 <----------------> h1:eth1:11.0.0.2/24
sw1:sw1p2:12.0.0.1/24 <----------------> h2:eth1:12.0.0.2/24

ARP and ping work fine.  What is your test setup?  I haven't spent a
lot of time on unbridged port testing, since major focus has been on
offloading bridge L2 and L3.
