It has been stated in the thread before, but let me repeat it:
You have this experience of "bridging doesn't work" with a
-RELEASE. Did you ever consider using -STABLE? You might want
to visit the cvs-all archive and look out for luigi@FreeBSD.org's
commit messages to RELENG_4. There's been a lot of them related
to bridging lately (late January, I guess).
I don't know if simple boot / fixit floppies will enable you to
check this setup. But you might want to update your system after
reading the commit messages.
And then there have been recent threads about plugging some
netgraph nodes together to form a router / bridge / packet
filter. NG has been around for quite a while (4.0?), but I
understand recent development made it even more suitable for this
kind of job. It will be worth a look, too.
