Hi, I'm using FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE. I was reading the handbook to find out how to set up a machine to act as a bridge. I followed the instructions in that section but it would not work. I then read bridge(4) and it stated that one also needs to add interfaces to the "cluster" by doing : sysctl net.link.ether.bridge_cfg=xl0,xl1 Where xl0 and xl1 are the interfaces in your machine. After doing that the bridging worked as expected. Also in section 17.3.3.1 titled "Network Interface Card Selection" it says that one can get a list of cards that support bridging from bridge(4) but there is no such list in that man page. I could write an updated bridging section for the handbook and send it to you if you like. Let me know if you are interested in such a contribution.
