Hi there,

As others have mentioned, this might be related to the
promiscuous mode update made a few weeks ago (April 21?).

I no longer have the hardware configuration to verify this, but
at the time I submitted the patch, I had netgraph bridging
working between fxp & an. I did find a strange problem that I
couldn't debug: I believe LOCAL_IFACE *has* to be defined as the
Aironet interface. Any other way and the Aironet interface would
appear to not receive packets...
