Sorry, but nothing more to report. I am using if_bridge as my rc.conf shows I clone the interface and create the bridge. This autoloads the if_bridge.ko as shown: 1 12 0xc0400000 534520 kernel 2 1 0xc0935000 121e4 geom_mirror.ko 3 1 0xc0948000 10958 if_ath.ko 4 3 0xc0959000 26b60 ath_hal.ko 5 2 0xc0980000 40ac ath_rate.ko 6 1 0xc0985000 58554 acpi.ko 7 1 0xc3567000 8000 if_bridge.ko 8 1 0xc3661000 4000 logo_saver.ko Pretty much I copied this from the ath man page: ifconfig ath0 inet up ssid my_ap media DS/11Mbps mediaopt hostap sysctl net.inet.ip.check_interface=0 ifconfig bridge0 create ifconfig bridge0 addm ath0 addm fxp0 Seems that once I rebooted, both interfaces came up in promiscuous mode, so that's a no go now. I still believe it to be a frag/UDP/RPC issue. Wes do you or anyone else have any further insight? Thank you, Paul Pathiakis
