After some more head scratching, it sounds like what I want is a bridge. Reading if_bridge(4), the first example looks a lot like what I am trying to do. My initial attempt didn't fare any better but I expect I have a lot of cruft to dig through from the earlier attempts. Did I misread this? Does sending packets between two physical interfaces require a bridge? No other docs have mentioned it but of their "easy instructions" have worked either. -- Paul Beard Are you trying to win an argument or solve a problem?
