Hello,

I have been working with Netgrpah in bridging vlans using the vtun
package. I recently tried to extend this to bridging vlans but found that
it did not work. I think the reason was that the scriptI had been using
(/usr/share/examples/netgraph/ether.bridge)to happily do bridging between
two real interfaces seemed not to place the vlan interfaces into PROMISC
mode.

When I start the ether.bridge I do get a message saying promiscuos mode
enabled on the vlan1 interface but subsequent "ifconfig" commands do not
show the flag set on the interface.

Has anybody come across this before ?

I am running i386 hardware and 4.5-RELEASE if that helps.

Thanks.
