Hey Crist :)  Didn't want to e-mail you right out :)  This is actually for
a different project (not the lab), so that is why I had to ask.  Reading
the man pages for bridging, I see I need to set net.link.ether.bridge and
net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw to 1, correct?  So I just put these into my
rc.conf and compile a new kernel with "options BRIDGE" and all is well?
