But in if_bridge(4) page, it states that=20 =E2=80=98if_bridge_load=3D"YES"=E2=80=99 should be added (along with =E2=80= =98bridgestp_load=3D"YES"=E2=80=99). The if_bridge manpage is referring to entries to place in /boot/loader.conf= ,=20 not /etc/rc.conf. The module is called 'if_bridge', so 'if_bridge_load=3DY= ES'=20 should be used fo rloader.conf. I think it has a dependency on bridgestp s= o=20 that you don't need to load it automatically. OTOH, if you just list=20 'bridge0' in 'cloned_interfaces' then if_bridge is loaded for you=20 automatically and you don't need to set it in loader.conf at all. Can you confirm which "How To Install" page you are looking at? I couldn't= =20 find a recommendation to set "bridge_load" in rc.conf in the Handbook or FA= Q=20 on the main website. =2D-=20 John Baldwin
