I am able to use the older bridge interface by running the following. sysctl net.link.ether.bridge.enable=1 sysctl net.link.ether.bridge.config=fxp0,tap0 When I try and use the new if_bridge interface my packets don't appear to make it through the bridge. Here is what I am running ifconfig bridge0 create ifconfig bridge0 addm fxp0 addm tap0 up Here is the output of uname -a on my machine. FreeBSD nfs 6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #1: Sun Sep 9 02:01:33 EDT 2007 root@nfs:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/NFS i386 I have used the if_bridge interface on a FreeBSD current machine to bridge nfe0 and ath0 without problems. Has anyone had problems with the if_bridge interface on RELENG_6? I also noticed the following weird messages coming from dmesg on the local machine. arp: unknown hardware address format (0x0000) Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated. Regards, David Yeske
