--0000000000009d10e20602b6b7ef Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable In my opinion,the usage of the wrapper creates some difficulties to understand how bhyve and the networking works. You should start from the very beginning,studying bhyve and the freebsd networking,instead of learning how to correctly use the wrapper.
