I will test this later this evening as I'm trying to get work done now
 (after having solved the immediate problem).  However, if this is the
 case, I respectfully submit that this should be a doc-bug, then, as
 there is no clue in the if_bridge manual page that addresses on the
 added ethernet segments will not work correctly.



FWIW, I've been using if_bridge for a short while (month or two) and I've got all my IPs assigned to the interfaces themselves, and not bridge0. I'm not using em or dc cards, but everything works great. I'm using the fxp driver on both cards (Dell PowerEdge 1550 dual 10/100 interfaces).

Feel free to ask more about my setup, if I can help at all.
