Maybe someone else could help you if you would post your FreeBSD
version, the commands you used and the exact error message.
ATM I don't use a VPN therefore I can't give you a known to work
step-by-step solution. However I couldn't reproduce your problem
on 6.0 with the following commands:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ #ifconfig gif0 tunnel 1.2.3.4 5.6.7.8 up
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ #ifconfig bridge0 create
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ #ifconfig bridge0 addm ndis0 addm gif0 up
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ #ifconfig bridge0
bridge0: flags=8043<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether ac:de:48:f4:4e:9c
priority 32768 hellotime 2 fwddelay 15 maxage 20
member: gif0 flags=3<LEARNING,DISCOVER>
member: ndis0 flags=3<LEARNING,DISCOVER>
BTW: man if_config says all members of the bridge are required to
have the same MTU, but ifconfig doesn't seem to check it.
My setup wouldn't work as gif0 has a MTU of 1280.
