Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't bridging of two interfaces supposed to
make a duplicate of the traffic from one onto another? Why is it then that
on the second interface I bridge to I only see broadcast and multicast
packets? I have fxp0 and fxp1 acting as a bridge, fxp0 sees all kinds of
http traffic, napster, IM, etc. but fxp1 sees only multi/broadcast packets.

any ideas?
