I added device if_bridge to kernel=20 then i added the code to the rc.conf =20 cloned_interfaces=3D"bridge0" ifconfig_bridge0=3D"addm sk0 addm sk1 up" ifconfig_sk0=3D"up" ifconfig_sk1=3D"up" now=2C i dun have any network address assigned to any of the interface and = connect the two lan cards to two other machines and try to ping those machi= nes from each other. but no success.=20 =20 ... do you think=2C this is as expected..?
