I read in some obscure post that I can't bridge from a wlan to tap because the wlan can only handle one MAC? =A0Kindof thought every card has only one mac. =A0No idea if this related to 6.x or something earlier, or current...of course I can't find the post again, either, but it was just a mention in some other howto. Anyway, I can't get an address on bridge0. rc.conf: cloned_interfaces=3D"bridge0" autobridge_interfaces=3D"bridge0" # autoconfigure these bridges autobridge_bridge0=3D"tap* wlan0" ifconfig_bridge0=3D"DHCP" After I boot, no address on bridge0, and dhclient bridge0 just times out...sortof thought I was following the handbook & man tap, but again, I have a 7.2 box on a wired network that this basic operation works on, so I'm suspecting wlan does break bridging...
