you're probably better of staying on freebsd-pf

just guessing (based on very incomplete info) you might want
"pass in on $if_bce0 route-to ($if_bce0 $if_bce0_gw) to any"

but it seems like there should be a simpler way to do that.

can you give us a little more info about your net topology? for example,
what IP addresses, if any, are bound to the interfaces? what network(s)
are directly attached? location(s)/address(es) of your router(s)? do you have 
any static routes defined?

not sure why the chipset would make a difference. maybe that is a bug.
