      Hello,

      I have the following setup:
      1. pfSense router (A): 172.16.10.0/16 LAN1
      2. pfSense router (B): 172.16.0.0/16 LAN2
      3. A GIF tunnel between boxes (TUN1): 10.0.0.0/31
      4. created BRIDGE0 bridge interface w/o any interface assignment on box A: BRIDGE0 (TUN1, LAN1)
      5. created BRIDGE0 bridge interface w/o any interface assignment on box B: BRIDGE0 (TUN1, LAN2)
      6. "Log packets matched from the default block rules in the ruleset" is checked on both boxes

      No connectivity at all. Logs are empty.

      "ifconfig bridge0": ifconfig: interface bridge0 does not exist

      Assign interfaces (OPT1) to BRIDGE0 on both boxes. "ifconfig bridge0" will show bridge interface, but still no connectivity. After reboot bridge0 will gone:
      Mar 24 21:37:39 php-cgi rc.bootup: The command '/usr/sbin/arp -d -i 'bridge0' -a > /dev/null 2>&1 ' returned exit code '1', the output was ''
      Mar 24 21:37:39 php-cgi rc.bootup: The command '/sbin/ifconfig 'bridge0' -staticarp ' returned exit code '1', the output was 'ifconfig: interface bridge0 does not exist'

      Looks like there is a bug is burrowed in the depth of pfSense.
