Despite the man page not mentioning either interface as supported, I built the kernel config anyways and went to try it out (Stop! Don't throw that tomato! 8^). In fact it almost works (I can ping the IP address of the mx0 interface on systems connected through xl0 which is unnumbered). Both interfaces _say_ they have the PROMISC flag set (I'm assuming this might be core to some interfaces supporting briding or not?) but I can't ping all the way through the bridge from hosts on xl0 to hosts on mx0. Have I got a hope-in-hell of making this work or should I just give up now 8^) Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
