Hi,

I was trying to configure Dummynet on a machine that also acts
like a bridge and found something really odd.

even though the ipfw man page says that one could specify the
bw in either Kbit/s or Mbit/s.  whenever i tried using Mbit/s,
the bw was auotmatically set to 1 bit/s!  Once i multiply by 1000
and switch to Kbit/s, everything works fine.

i have a 5.4 FreeBSD system.  I searched on google, but didn't
find anyone else reporting this problem.

Thanks,

Cheng
