well, it should work. however, you should set an address on either of the interfaces that constitutes the bridge, not the bridge itself.

It works, I just thought there might be a cleaner solution.

For example both ral0 and fxp1 needs an IP address or dhcpd just
refuses to work on the interface.

on the router: assign 192.168.13.1 to fxp1 and none to ral0, put both fxp1 and ral0 in the bridge, putting both ral0 and fxp1 in dhcpd.interfaces. a similar solution is working here.

this is the basically the same as having only one interface with the above ip on it, that is wired to a switch with an antenna and two ethernet jacks.


also, failover trunk ought to work,

A failover trunk will work for one laptop. But if a friend and I
are sharing the wireless the friend will be cut off when the
wired interfaces goes active.

but i wouldn't know how a bridge pair directly hooked up
against let's say a round robin trunk would behave.

Don't understand this.

i'm talking about trunking on the clients. if using failover mode, only one interface is used at a time, but in round robin mode all interfaces are used 'simultaneously', with chances of confusing the bridge at the router by creating a loop in the network topology. if this is the case have a look at the spanning tree options of brconfig(8). however, i haven't been there, so this is just where i'd start.

plus, i can't see the point of a trunk on the router.
