Am I missing something? From reading the man pages I thought it was
as simple as creating the bridgename.bridge0 file, and rebooting or
brconfiging? I'm getting ready to set up pf but obviously need some
connectivity through the bridge before I get to that point.
I suspect it's because the two network interfaces xl0 and xl1 aren't 'up'.
# ifconfig xl0 up
# ifconfig xl1 up
