Description

After building Tap OpenVPN tunnel with bridged interfaces between 2 sites with pfsense 2.1.1
That looks like :

<   pfsense siteA >         internet          <  pfsense siteB   >
siteA interdaceA < (lan<>ovpntap)> <------Openvpn tunel ------><(opvpntap<>lan ) > interfaceB siteB
< Bridge siteA > < Bridge site B >

problem is timing

for example...
if i reboot siteA pfsense instance , after restart bridged interfaces are not bridged, at least it looks so, but in settings every thing looks ok.
Then i need to go to in GUI Interfaces >(Assign)>Bridges>select my bridge and click edit icon and then save button without changing any value)

I confirmed timing issue by checking ifconfig after reboot. It shows that on bridge0 is only one member that is interface of NIC and I miss ovpnc1 interface
and manualy adding ovpnc1 interface and turning it on helps

commands used to manualy fix after reboot:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ifconfig bridge0 addm ovpnc1
ifconfig ovpnc1 up
----------------------------------------------------------------------
