This is how I do it:
cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d
echo "#!/bin/sh -" > bridge.sh
echo "sysctl -w net.link.ether.bridge=1" >> bridge.sh
chmod 755 bridge.sh
Personally I don't think every sysctl know should have an
equivalent entry in rc.conf, although bridging might be
common and important enough to warrant one. After all,
there's one for IP forwarding, too.
