It seems that promisc mode isn't working at all. The promisc flag can be
set on the interface, but it isn't really turned on. I had to reflash a
FreeWRT Router in the field back to OpenWRT, since promisc mode is
needed for doing layer 2 bridging with two interfaces.

This is no problem, when using OpenWRT. 

I guess that bridging isn't really working on FreeWRT (with at least one
of the network devices). Or is the switch of the interfaces to promisc
mode possible in another way?

I have tried to bridge a tap Device and the internal ethernet device. I
didn't have time to debug this. But I saw that I got a arp entry on the
lan side, but not on the other endpoint of the vpn tunnel. So I guess
that it might be just one of the two drivers (tap or ethx.x) which is
broken. 

Flashing back to OpenWRT and usind exactly the same syntax got me a
working layer 2 bridging setup.

Greetings Torge
