Sorry, I shouldn't try to answer questions w/o my first cup of coffee.
On SUSE most ppl seem to create a script in /etc/init.d/ then put a
symlink pointing to it in the runlevel rc you're using. A quick who -r
should tell you which runlevel you use (typ runlevel 5)
So in /etc/init.d/ create a file called bridge
#!/bin/sh
brctrl addbr bla...
brctrl addif bla...
whatever else...
make it executable:
chmod 700 /etc/init.d/bridge
put a symlink in /etc/init.d/rc5.d:
ln -s /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S99bridge /etc/init.d/bridge
That should be it. Check the YaST runlevel editor to be sure.

It is really depends on the distribution, some of the firewall's etc
have
gui's and startup scripts to handle. You might look in the SUSE doc's.
