I have worked trhough getting bridging working, using a manual startup
file, and now I'm ready to set it up to come up autmaticly when the systems
boot.

I see that I need to create a bridgename.bridge0 file, but I'm still
puzzled by exactly what should be in it. Here is my manual start file for
oen end.

ifconfig bridge0 create
ifconfig gif0 create
ifconfig gif0 tunnel 205.159.77.110 205.159.77.111
ifconfig gif0 up
brconfig bridge0 add gif0 add nfe0
brconfig -blocknonip stp nfe0
brconfig bridge0 up

Interface nfe0, and the 205.x interface are brought up by hostname.x files.

Would this be the format I need for the bridgename file?

create
gif0 create
gif0 tunnel 205.159.77.110 205.159.77.111
gif0 up
add gif0 
add nfe0
-blocknonip 
stp nfe0
up

Ican't seem to find a man page for gif.if, so I'm assuming that I can't set
up the gif interface using that, bt need to do it in the bridgename.x file.
Do I need to use shell escapes to do the gif setup?

4.0, if it matters.
