Hello everyone!

I'm trying to set up a FreeBSD 7.2 machine with ipfw dummynet working as
a bridge.

I've tried this tutorial:

http://www.scalabledesign.com/articles/dummynet.html

But it seems that the 'BRIDGE' option for the kernel is deprecated (see
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2008-May/175704.html)

So my kernel config now looks like this:

device          if_bridge
options         IPFIREWALL
options         IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
options         IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT
options         DUMMYNET
options         HZ=1000

I've compiled the kernel successfully, but I'm not able to set any
bridge options.

I've tried to enable bridge mode in ipfw with:

sysctl net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw=1

and got

sysctl: unknown oid 'net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw'


Am I missing something?


Regards,
Sebastian
