Thanks, Leonidas.
According to the FreeBSD Handbook, Chapter 26.5 you have to set the following sysctl variables in order to enable bridging support: net.link.ether.bridge.enable=1 net.link.ether.bridge.config=xl0,fxp0 net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw=1
The bridge.ko is loaded via /boot/loader.conf, and both bridge.enabled and bridge.config are set via /etc/sysctl.conf bridge_ipfw is set in my script that was shown in the original e-mail. dummynet.ko is also loaded via /boot/loader.conf. I believe I have all the necessary ko's loaded and configs set. Otherwise, the second pipe wouldnt have worked.
Also you must have recompiled your kernel to include "options BRIDGE". (you can also load the bridge.ko module with "kldload bridge")
Yes, I loaded the ko at start-up. This thing just seems strange to me. Maybe there is something about bridging that I don't understand.
