This has got to be something silly I'm doing, but the man pages don't tell me what. I've googled a fair amount and likewise nothing. Anyway... I've got a box running 6.0-RELEASE-p3. Two network cards present, an intel pro/100 (fxp0) and a cisco aironet card (ath0). I want to bridge the wireless users onto the LAN, but can't get it to work. I was told to use if_bridge instead of bridge. Recommended steps: ifconfig bridge0 create ifconfig addm fxp0 ifconfig addm ath0 *** The first steps works fine. After doing the second, I completely lose ethernet connectivity. The odd thing is that I can ping hosts on the LAN, but no TCP or UDP traffic will flow. I'm not running pf or ipfw. I also this this: ifconfig addm fxp0 addm ath0 (in fact the above was the original rec I found on google, but that didn't work either, so I tried eliminating the ath interface from the equation by doing the wired nic first...) There has GOT to be something obvious and/or stupid here, but I'm stumped :(
