Yes, the #if stuff I have had to adapt for OS X as well.

I'll try with a cable tonight to see if that works better than wireless...

Do anyone have experience with Apples pcap library? It is supposed to be
a plain bsd pcap, but I have a problem that I haven't figured out yet,

I have your bridge working on Mac OS X.
I forced
#define __FreeBSD__
to get
ioctl(BIOCIMMEDIATE, BIOCSHDRCMPLT) compiled.
I get the same packets as tcpdump, that is:
- broadcasts from all nodes, if I run on a distinct machine (no simulator)
router-hello, lev-1-routing, lev-2-routing
- broadcasts and unicasts to me,   if I run on a machine hosting a simulator
link-service, data-ack, ils-ack, data
I am on a switched network with unmanaged switches, so i'm unable to sniff
all traffic for the moment.
