According to bridge(4) , it only works for ``ed'', ``de'', ``ep'', ``fe'', ``fxp'', ``lnc'', ``mx'', ``tx'', and ``xl'' interfaces. However, according to cvs logs [rev 1.11 and rev 1.9.2.1 of if_dc.c] on May 14 and May 24th Archie Cobb wrote the following message --- Move code to handle BPF and bridging for incoming Ethernet packets out of the individual drivers and into the common routine ether_input(). Also, remove the (incomplete) hack for matching ethernet headers in the ip_fw code. The good news: net result of 1016 lines removed, and this should make bridging now work with *all* Ethernet drivers. The bad news: it's nearly impossible to test every driver, especially for bridging, and I was unable to get much testing help on the mailing lists. Reviewed by: freebsd-net --- Has anybody got bridging to work on the dc(4) interface. I am looking to build a traffic shapping bridge machine with a fxp interface on one side and a 4 port D-Link DFE-570TX card on the other side (to traffic shape upto 4 machines individually for 1 Mb/s outbound) Any suggestions on how to go about this would be appreciated ?
