Howdy list, Is the ath(4) driver, like the wi(4) driver, incapable of performing bridging? For reference, this is from the bridge(4) manpage: Bridging requires interfaces to be put in promiscuous mode, and transmit packets with Ethernet source addresses. Some interfaces (e.g. wi(4)) do not support this functionality. Also, bridging is not compatible with interfaces which use hardware loopback, because there is no way to tell locally generated packets from externally generated ones. ath(4) manpage: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ath&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+5.1-current&format=html wi(4) manpage: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=wi&sektion=4&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+5.1-current bridge(4) manpage: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=bridge&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+5.1-current&format=html Just curious.
