Yes - what do people use for bridging under FreeBSD with hostap? The
FreeBSD bridging code (options BRIDGE) or the netgraph bridge? With
BRIDGE, I'm seeing the following oddity:

suppose there are two interfaces,

sis0: 192.168.0.230
wi0: no IP address assigned, hostap

used with the following sysctls:

net.link.ether.bridge="1"
net.link.ether.bridge_cfg="wi0 sis0"
net.inet.ip.forwarding="1"

Wireless clients can associate to the hostap access point and ping hosts
on sis0 through the bridge without any problems at all. However, they
cannot ping 192.168.0.230 - the box does not even respond to ARP queries
on wi0. Of course, hosts on sis0 can ping 192.168.0.230 OK.

ipfilter and ipfw were turned off for this test, and I even tried it on my
notebook in addition to a net4511 - made no difference.

This is a little bit irritating - I have tried netgraph bridging, and with
that it works as intended - 192.168.0.230 can be pinged both from wireless
clients and from hosts on sis0. However, I'd rather use the FreeBSD kernel
bridge if possible, as that netgraph stuff is a bit cumbersome.

Does anybody know what could cause this problem and if there's a solution?

Thanks,

Manuel
