Hi,

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-bridging.html 
says that to enable the bridge you must set the sysctl 
net.link.ether.bridge. However on FreeBSD 5.x this is actually 
net.link.ether.bridge.enable by the looks of it as running the following 
doesn't work:

[root at kai root]# sysctl net.link.ether.bridge=1
sysctl: oid 'net.link.ether.bridge' isn't a leaf node

[root at kai root]# sysctl net.link.ether.bridge.enable
net.link.ether.bridge.enable: 0

Might be worth changing it to mention this?

Matt.
