Hi - I noticed your recent posts regarding bridging in FreeBSD and the fact that it may not work under 3.1 RELEASE, and I was wondering if you could give me some pointers. I am trying to set up bridging for the first time in FreeBSD, and I can't seem to get it running. I have 3.1 RELEASE, but I feel that I may be doing something even more fundamentally wrong. When I set the bridging variable using sysctl, the machine just hangs. Any ideas why? Is there documentation available for the exact steps required in setting up a machine as a bridge? Is all that is needed is to boot the machine normally, and then set the sysctl variables? I have a machine that is running 3.1 RELEASE with DUMMYNET and BRIDGE options enabled in the kernel. I have run dummynet with the machine configured as a router and it works fine. Do I need to upgrade to 3.1 STABLE? I may try this as it was already suggested in one of the posts. I am not on the questions list so please cc me in any responses.
