bridging

[saeedeh motlagh]

yes, with any two interfaces the bridge works well. tcpdump show these
messages when i configure bridge with more than 2 interfaces:

it seems that bridging just can be done by two interfaces:(
i use "ifconfig bridge0 create" and "ifconfig addm igb1 addm igb2" for
bridging two interfaces. i test by putting the below commands in rc.conf
file:
cloned_interfaces="bridge0"
ifconfig_bridge0="addm igb1 addm igb2 addm gbeth1 up"
but nothing changed.
