For what it is worth, lagg(4) for wired- and wireless connections works fine for me. In my network, wireless and wired setup is done from a FreeBSD firewall with an em(4) and ath(4) device configured as a bridge(4) interface. I have the following scripts that handle the lease renewals: --- /etc/start_if.lagg0 begin --- #!/bin/sh /bin/pkill dhclient /usr/local/sbin/dhclient -6 -lf /var/db/dhclient6.leases -pf \ /var/run/dhclient6.lagg0.pid lagg0 2>&1 >/dev/null & /usr/local/sbin/dhclient -4 -lf /var/db/dhclient.leases -pf \ /var/run/dhclient.lagg0.pid lagg0 2>&1 >/dev/null & --- /etc/start_if.lagg0 end --- --- /etc/start_if.lagg0 begin --- #!/bin/sh /bin/pkill dhclient --- /etc/start_if.lagg0 end --- When I switch from wired to wireless or the reverse, there is a brief connection loss (about 3 seconds).
