So far, so great. The module appropriately bonds interfaces, handles failover correctly. In /etc/rc.conf I've got: network_interfaces="fxp0 fxp1 fec0 lo0" ifconfig_fxp0="media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex" ifconfig_fxp1="media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex" ifconfig_fec0="inet 10.10.25.128 netmask 255.255.0.0" defaultrouter="10.10.0.1" and in /etc/start_if.fec0: ngctl mkpeer fec dummy fec ngctl msg fec0: add_iface '"fxp0"' ngctl msg fec0: add_iface '"fxp1"' ngctl msg fec0: set_mode_inet the module is being loaded appropriately from /boot/loader.conf. Now, during boot, I see the fec0 interface configured: fec0: port fxp0 in bundle is up fec0: port fxp1 in bundle is up Once I get to the prompt, the interface is appropriately configured and it's routing table looks great. However, traffic isn't coming through. Well, kind of. The box gets a couple residual arp entries; but that's it. It can't ping it's default route. Almost like layer 2 is working but not layer 3. I've determined I can get the interface working correctly by putting it into promiscuous mode for a second (tcpdump -i fec0). As soon as I've done that, the kernel again reports: fec0: port fxp0 in bundle is up fec0: port fxp1 in bundle is up After which network traffic flows as it should. ???
