Hi all,

I've set up wireless link aggregation on FreeBSD 10 RC1 and RC2 as
described in the FreeBSD handbook, on an oldish Compaq nc6320 laptop. 

What happens is:

If I boot the system with the Ethernet cable attached, I correctly get
lagg0 active port on master- bg0- and the network is working correctly.
(I mainly test pinging my gateway). When I pull the cable out, lagg0
device correctly switches to wlan0 as shown by ifconfig (wlan0 is created
from wpi0), but at the same time I get no more ping replies from my
gateway. I can leave the system in this state for several minutes as an
example
and no replies are coming through. A simple list of interfaces with
ifconfig with no parameters brigs the network back to life, and I start to
get back the due ping replyes, this time thrugh wireless link. 


Please, if possible en-light me on tis problem. I sat at your disposition
with any info you may deem necessary to get this fixed (if it needs a fix).


Dan
