If I uncomment #net.link.ether.bridge=1 in sysctl.conf my IP is not bind 
to rl1 but if I leave it commented and type "sysctl 
net.link.ether.bridge=1" at command prompt everything work fine.

Need help!

Thanks

$cat /etc/rc.conf
...
ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.42.2 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_rl1="inet 216.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.240"
#ifconfig_rl2 Bridge to rl1
...

$cat /etc/sysctl.conf
net.link.ether.bridge_cfg=rl1,rl2
net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw=1
#net.link.ether.bridge=1
