Under OpenBSD the interfaces are em1 and em2.
If I put IPs on them I can ping the devices that are supposed to talk through
this bridge.
Well VMWare ESX and ESXi use a virtual soft-switch to move packets, it may
eat things like STP or other important msgs.
Instead of creating two VLAN tag-based port-groups, and creating two
virtual NICs to your OpenBSD guest, consider passing a dot1q trunk
directly through to the guest OS and have him handle the VLAN tag
stripping:
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1004074
This essentially maps the Dot1q trunk exclusively to the guest and
bypasses VMWare vSwitch.
At that point, you can at least eliminate VMWare as the cause of your
problems

If I put them into a bridge I get nothing.
Anyone know where I should be looking here to figure out why this isn't
working?
