Fix libremesh#1192. In dsa devices if another libremesh node is connected via cable anygw starts working intermittently for hosts connected via cable Manually adjust the bridge fdb, as suggested here [0], with an /etc/hotplug.d/net trigger adding an entry that states that the anygw mac address can be found locally on device br-lan Then add a nftables guard rule that drop packets with ether source address equal to the anygw_mac on every dsa user ports that is member of br-lan to prevent icmp6 broadcast loops. To use the command bridge it is necessary to add the package ip-bridge ~30KB. This wouldn't be required in swconfig devices but an easy way to distinguish between dsa and swconfig devices at compile time doesn't exists at the moment.

This wouldn't be required in swconfig devices but an easy way to distinguish between dsa and swconfig devices
at compile time doesn't exists at the moment.
