OK. A further question, then.

What I'm trying to do is debug if_bridge and if_pppoe as I'm stupid enough
to try hacking the source to bridge PPPoE(4) to another interface (it
doesn't work, and if you hack if_bridge to tell it to add it to the bridge,
the bridging doesn't work).

if_bridge and if_pppoe are both kernel level files, and I want to set
breakpoints to find out where it is/isn't working, so kgdb seemed like the
best thing to use.

Given that I'm in a minority of kgdb users, what's everyone else using in
cases like this?

I use printfs, pstat -d and ddb. Never use breakpoints since I don't
trust them, they mess up timing too much.

To be honest, I'm a printf debugger.
