Kristof Up until a month ago I ran a set of FreeBSD based ap in my house and even long ago at work . They were Pc engines apu ‘s or Alix’s with one em/igb nic and one ath nic in a bridge . They worked well for a long time however the need for more robust wifi setup caused me to swap them out with cots aps from tp-link . The major issues were the lack of WiFi features and standards that work oob on Linux based aps . So I always wanted to experiment with ng_bridge vs if_bridge for the same task . But I never got around to it . Do you have any insight into using one vs the other . Imho if_bridge is easier to setup and get working . --- Mark Saad | nonesuch@longcount.org > On Apr 15, 2020, at 1:37 PM, Kristof Provost <kp@freebsd.org> wrote: > > On 15 Apr 2020, at 19:16, Mark Saad wrote: >> All >> Should this improve wifi to wired bridges in some way ?
