I know that some drivers under -current simply lack bridging support. For example I used dummynet patches for 3.0-RELEASE to get bridging support for fxp driver. You have not indicated what version of FreeBSD you are using, your mailer shows 3.1-RELEASE but this isn't something to believe. For 3.1-R I don't know, but this can be the case. -- Vallo Kallaste vallo@matti.ee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
