	Shouldn't that be:

	sysctl net.link.ether.bridge.config="ath0,vr0
	
> sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
> 
> The ath0 is bridged with the vr0 which is the internal NIC.
> dhcpd is running on vr0. I have the following in my ipf.conf:
> pass in quick on ath0 from any to any
> pass out quick on ath0 from any to any

> un /root# wicontrol ath0
