What revision of FreeBSD? eiface is now in -current. (but not built by default)

It's not impossible, but then bridging should fail to work too I would 
think. hmm maybe not..  Does another machine see any packets on the wire 
at all? If you insert a 'tee' between the bpf and the fxp do you see 
outgoing packets?
