Hey everyone. I've successfully setup a network bridge in /etc/rc.conf. However, I am only able to access the network if I dhcp on bridge0 *after* the bridge is configured. If I try to set a static IP on the bridge, things don't work. Here's my /etc/rc.conf:

cloned_interfaces="bridge0 tap0 tap1"
ifconfig_bridge0="addm re0 addm tap0 addm tap1 up inet 192.168.1.6 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_re0="up"
ifconfig_tap0="up"
ifconfig_tap1="up"
defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"

bridge0 is configured with the IP 192.168.1.6, but I can't ping out. However, once I run dhclient in bridge0, things magically work. Does anyone know why the above won't work? Thanks!

James
