Can anyone point me in the direction I need to go to get this working under FreeBSD (3.2 or 3.3)? I've seen a Bridging-HOWTO for Linux that discusses the program BRCFG in applications for NIC-to-NIC bridging, but I don't see anything about NIC-to-serial device bridging. One other thing: does the linux program brcfg work under FreeBSD's linux emulation?
