Description Adam Tingle 2004-06-09 00:00:45 UTC 
      The handbook says to use net.link.ether.bridge.config=if1,if2 to configure bridging. This has actually caused my machine to panic.

Fix: 

What it should say is net.link.ether.bridge.config="if1,if2" (with quotes).
How-To-Repeat:       set net.link.ether.bridge.config=if1,if2 in sysctl.conf, reboot

sysctl net.link.ether.bridge.config=wi0,fxp0 works quite well for me.

Perhaps a kernel bug.  Could you please obtain a kernel dump and
trace?

Anyway, it is not a documentation issue.
