Bridging pppoe(4) to another NIC - is this even possible, as it appears impossible to change the MTU?

2008-09-08 Thread Peter Kay - Syllopsium
I'm trying to create a transparent bridging firewall with a NIC at one end and PPPoE(4) at the other end. In this case I'm using OpenBSD 4.4-CURRENT sparc (same thing happens on 4.2) on a sparcstation 10 with quad ethernet (qe - 10Mb). The problem is that the bridge cannot be established,
