I have been using a 5.9 amd64 box with 2 em interfaces configured as a
bridge for some time between my ISP's modem/router and my home network.
With this setup on 5.9, things worked perfectly.
On 6.0 I have tried the same very simple configuration of creating a bridge
with em0 and em1 interfaces an
Based on Martin's hint I tried an experiment - I configured em0 statically
instead of using dhcp. This fixes my problem.
So to summarize: in 6.0 running dhclient on a bridge-member interface
breaks dhcp traffic passing through the bridge. This worked in 5.9. Also
the FAQ bridge example uses DHC

Thanks for the explanation.
I am curious though - is dhclient really the right place to fix this? I
might use some other dhcp client (dhcpcd in ports for example) or some
other application that uses BPF. Should every userland program using BPF
have to worry whether or not it is breaking bridging
