FreeBSD Bridging doesn't work on FreeBSD 11

Hi,

I'm doing some packetfiltering between two network segments. I've a
running bridge on FreeBSD 8.2

cloned_interfaces="bridge0"
autobridge_interfaces="bridge0"
autobridge_bridge0="fxp0 fxp1"
ifconfig_bridge0="inet 10.100.32.15/24 up"
ifconfig_fxp0="up"
ifconfig_fxp1="up"

this one running for years without a hitch. But it's quite old so I'm
building a replacement on FreeBSD 11.1

I've copied these setting and the firewall configs as well.

cloned_interfaces="bridge0"
autobridge_interfaces="bridge0"
autobridge_bridge0="em0 em1"
ifconfig_bridge0="inet 10.100.32.18/24 up"
ifconfig_em0="up"
ifconfig_em1="up"

The new bridge starting up does bridge the traffic but the bridge server
can't communicate.

here is the output from ifconfig


em0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0

        member: em0 flags=143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP>
                ifmaxaddr 0 port 1 priority 128 path cost 2000000

if delete the bridge and configure em0 directly ip works.

anyone a idea what I'm doing wrong.
