Hello, I hope somebody here known well tap interfaces on freebsd :).

I try to configure virtualbox with bridge interface. Everything seams ok:
# ifconfig tap0

tap0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 
1500
        ether 00:bd:4f:0a:00:00
        inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255

# ls -l /dev/tap0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel    0, 109 Sep 27 16:54 /dev/tap0

The problem is that nothing pass in the tap0 interface. tcpdump does not show 
any traffic when I try to connect a machine on the 192.168 network.
I can ping the interface address (192.168.0.1). But without with the use of 
the tap itself (use of lo0):

# route -n get 192.168.0.1
   route to: 192.168.0.1
destination: 192.168.0.1
  interface: lo0
      flags: <UP,HOST,DONE,LLINFO,WASCLONED,LOCAL>
 recvpipe  sendpipe  ssthresh  rtt,msec    rttvar  hopcount      mtu     
expire
       0         0         0         0         0         0     16384         0


Then i have a tap interface up, but i can't pass to it any traffic.
Does anybody have a suggestion, or know some debugging tools to show what 
append? 

Thanks

Sebovick
