To whom it may concern. I've been using qemu with the vde port [until recently, the qemu port is to= o far ahead of the vde one now] on an x86 machine with FreeBSD 6 and using if_bridge to connect the tap0 interface with xl0 with great success. I tried to duplicate this configuration on a dual opteron machine that has Broadcom adapters and when I add the bge0 or bge1 interfaces to the bridge0 iface that I create I lose all connectivity. The moment I destroy the bridge0 interface, bge0 or bge1 as it may be begins responding again. I'm all for not supporting Broadcom here... I don't care for their business practices so much and will likely get another network card to work around this problem. I just thought I'd bring it up since I think if_bridge is really excellent otherwise! If you want/need more information I'll be glad to provide. Dave Leimbach
