Well, currently, you can't bridge rl0 and ath0. If I understood correctly, you want to make the printers available to others computers living on the wifi net, right? 1) Isn't plain IP forwarding enough? You can add a static route to the AP and it will redirect every request for the ethernet_segment to your FreeBSD box, which will forward them to the printers, etc. 2) You can use 1:1 NAT to map each IP address attached to rl0 ethernet segment to another IP on the wifi Is this helping?
