Couldn't you just set the interface to "-noarp" and then proxy-arp the
appropriate cards based on MAC addresses? Isn't that the equivalent of
what most base-stations do?
In fact, the only problem I see is how to pass FreeBSD's MAC to the
other end (is this just a problem with FreeBSD's "-noarp" option).
