I have a problem with the

options    BRIDGE

in the PicoBSD package ...

Simply, the bridge doesn't work ;(

With my greatest disappointment, the bridge does not seem to work even
in my bsd-box kernel.

My setup:

FreeBSD Box:

    A Cyrix 6x86MX-pr300 with 32 mb ram:

    - two PCI NE2000 cards (chipset RealTek 8029) configured as ed1 &
ed2

    - bridging enabled in the kernel with the options BRIDGE & the
sysctl variable


   Two PC clients in the network:

    one is set as IP 192.168.1.2

    the other is IP 192.168.1.100

I simply PING from one client to another to see packets going trough the
bridge.

With 3.1-RELEASE : no way.
The bridge is correctly initialized, the cards put in PROMISC mode, but
no banana.



The sad story : the PicoBSD disk downloaded from Lugi's page

http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi

WORKS perfectly.

Even with two el-cheapo Realtek 8139 (fast-ethernet 10/100) cards
(officially unsupported).

It does all by itself: boots & the bridge code starts working.

Now: is anyone here using the BRIDGE options in Fbsd 3.1-RELEASE ?

And under PicoBSD ?

Results ?


 Tnx in advance,

  Wyk'99
