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

25.5.3.1 Network Interface Card Selection

A bridge requires at least two network cards to function. Unfortunately,
not all network interface cards as of FreeBSD 4.0 support bridging. Read
bridge(4) for details on the cards that are supported.

Should probably be updated to 5.4 but mainly man 4 bridge does not list
supported ethernet cards.

 The section in question no longer mentions FreeBSD 4.0, nor NIC selection.
 Also, it seems that bridge(4) has supported all ethernet devices since
 2000 (see, for example, if_xl.c rev 1.74 commit log).
 
 I think this PR should be closed.
