Description Alex Wilkinson 2004-01-27 05:50:11 UTC 
In the wireless section of the handbook there are typos in respect to setting up the bridging. Please see: 

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/wireless.html

sysctl net.link.ether.bridge_cfg= should be
sysctl net.link.ether.bridge.config= *not* _config.

Also please specify the correct syntax for /etc/sysctl.conf. e.g. net.link.ether.bridge.config="wi0 xl0" does *not* work. The correct syntax is: net.link.ether.bridge.config=wi0,xl0. bridge(4) does state this, but the handbook doesn't.

Fix: 

Update the handbook with correct syntax.
How-To-Repeat: Read the incorrect information in the handbook.
