As wrotes in man ng_iface: This node type supports the following hooks: inet Transmission and reception of IP packets. ng_iface works with IP-packets, but ng_ether works with ethernet frames, so connecting it together require at least transformation module between IP-packets and ether-frames. -- Andrew mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
