Guys, Id like to work a bit on this issue in my free time, I have 2 weeks holiday after Xmass. First an update on lagg for the case you boot with wired coupled: 1. I previously said lagg0 switches correctly when I unplug the wired interface, but it is not so. It appeared so because I used

Hi all, I've set up wireless link aggregation on FreeBSD 10 RC1 and RC2 as described in the FreeBSD handbook, on an oldish Compaq nc6320 laptop. What happens is: If I boot the system with the Ethernet cable attached, I correctly get lagg0 active port on master- bg0- and the network is working

Hi, The MAC of the lagg needs to be the same as the wireless interface. I'm going to just state right now that using lagg as the failover method for doing wireless/wired integration isn't supported by me. If someone wants to make it supported then they need to claim it. :) -a On 17 December
