This is exactly what doesn't work here :-( 
 
Would you tell me your related sysctl-values and kernel options? 
 
Mine here are: (/etc/sysctl.conf) 
 
net.link.ether.bridge_cfg=fxp0,fxp1 
net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw=1 
net.link.ether.bridge=1 
 
and: 
 
options         BRIDGE                  #bridge-ability 
options         IPFIREWALL              #firewall 
options         IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE      #enable logging to syslogd(8) 
options         IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=100    #limit verbosity 
 
Thanks so far - Matthias
