Hi, this message is quite uninformational; for that I apologize. One of the reasons I upgraded my Sun Ultra5 to FreeBSD6 (BETA2) was that I wanted working Ethernet bridging. Both ng_bridge and bridge.ko cause nothing but instant panics on 5.4/sparc64. The first thing I tried after upgrading to 6 was to load bridge.ko, bridge tap0 and vlanX with it. When I typed 'ifconfig tap0' the box froze as far as I could see. No monitor was attached at that time so I'm afraid this is all the information I have. I'm just posting this to note that not all of the bridge/ng_bridge issues that 5.x had are resolved. I should also note that tap-support in itself works fine with 6 (which didn't with 5.4-RELEASE), and that if_bridge bridges my frames perfectly. Another sidenote: onion# tcpdump -nli bridge0 port 22 tcpdump: WARNING: bridge0: no IPv4 address assigned tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on bridge0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes 17:37:37.869099 [|ether] 17:37:38.776971 [|ether] 17:37:38.867750 [|ether] I'm unsure whether this is if_bridge's fault or tcpdump's fault, but I've heard from other people with this issue on x86 on real ethernet interfaces. This tcpdump is from world, not ports.
