No progress yet. Guess having a six-week old kid and a big birthday party
didn't help :-)

Anyway, here's a what I want to get ready for 1.1:

- Capability to create virtual interfaces bridged to physical or logical
(e.g. vlan) adapters

Why we'd want to have that:

- Ability to obtain multiple WAN IPs using DHCP (and then use advanced NAT
features, e.g. for multiple web servers, multiple game hosts requiring a
specific port, etc.)
- Serve multiple IP networks on a single physical interface without vlan
tagging (if you really want to)
- Multiple IP networks per vlan (no comment)

(no virtual access points such as described in
http://www.solunet.com/wp/Colubris/WhitePapers/wp_vap.pdf, sorry, guys)

As far as the GUI's concerned, each of those virtual interfaces will look
like a physical NIC, complete with MAC spoofing capabilities et al.

I'm still trying to get my head around the different scripts, etc. that make
up pfSense, so I could really use some pointers on where to look for the
files/scripts that

- is run when configuring the interfaces from the console (the "do you want
to create vlans now?" one)
- sets up the vlans and if configs (guess the code for setting up virtual
ifs should go there)
- builds the pf rules (might need a rule to pass packets from the physical
if to the virtual one from what i've seen so far

And I'll need to be able to check to make sure the physical interface is not
wireless (results could be quite unpredictable).

Thanks for your help and any other tips on what I should be looking out for
in order not to make my life miserable :-)

Thats pretty promising.   Sounds like we have a prospect for 1.1!
