This will work if the 8139too module is enabled in /etc/rc.modules, but if "modprobe 8139too" is called in /mnt/kd/rc.elocal the BRIDGE0 variable won't work as expected if any of the bridged interfaces are not defined until /mnt/kd/rc.elocal is called. Advanced users could place the 'brctl' calls in rc.elocal if they wish. In 0.7 there is a file '/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules' that keeps the network interface ordering consistent by MAC address, Tom - I think the changing ordering with/without the Berofix card was confusing you with in 0.6.
