In particular, how it decides which interfaces to use, and how it can be configured. I would like to have bridging on fxp0, and tap0, but not fxp1. As I understand it, you need to do a "sysctl -w net.link.ether.bridge_refresh=1" so that the bridge code will pick up the tap interface. Unfortunately, I am not able to remove fxp1 from the bridging config. I tried something like sysctl -w net.link.ether.bridge_refresh=1 sysctl -w net.link.ether.bridge_cfg=fxp0:1,tap0:1, sysctl -w net.link.ether.bridge=1 However, this does not appear to work. Any suggestions on how to make this happen? Also, what are the defineable flags?
