What I'd like is my wireless and wired network to be on the same /24 and my 
hostap/gateway to nat between lagg0 and tun0. As you've now described lagg, 
this doesn't seem viable and I'll have to look for a different solution.

The reason I want it, is that it greatly simplifies my rdr rules and I can 
seemlessly plug in/out my laptop without having to change default route or 
getting arp errors if I use lagg on it.

Wireless routers (at least my retired Linksys) seem to be able to handle a 
unified wired/wireless network just fine, is there anything comparable in 
FreeBSD?
