Is anyone having success running client-bridge (wifi0 in client mode, briding to wired interfaces)? From assorted posts, I understand ath(4) can't transmit from arbitrary source MACs or there's some limitation to the the 802.11 layer? It seems to work as long as the wifi(4) interface is in HostAP mode, but I havn't tested it (not looking to do this; well, maybe host-bridge-repeater) I do this all the time in DD-WRT on crappy Asus SOHO gear running Atheros 2xxx and 7xxx chips, so you would think it easy. ~BAS
