netstat output issue

When using bridging, netstat apparently can only
display 5 characters, so "bridge" is shown as the
route. If you have multiple bridges defined, you'd
have no way of knowing which bridge was being
specified.

A workaround is to rename your interfaces,

 ifconfig bridge0 name b0
 ifconfig bridge1 name b1
 ...

It would be nice to fix netstat too.

If you're talking about 'netstat -i', try 'netstat -iW'.
