hi,

i would like to bridge a wireless client to ethernet (in 8-CURRENT) -
the last bug in the if_bridge man page says this is a no-no.

the question is whether this could be worked around - don't need the
highest performance, so maybe netgraph or even a userland daemon would
work.  i don't have any ability to do anything at the access point end
so some of the tunneling protocols are out

any thoughts are appreciated,

thanks,
