One other thing are you loading shorewall? If I remember right I had a 
problem with the configuration in shorewall and bridging. I don't use 
shorewall on my bridge setup's. The laptop you mentioned should not be a 
problem as you can prove it works though normal setup. I also use RC2 just 
because I haven't had a reason to change but it had a bug in the bridging 
script which I think was fixed in RC3 might want to double check that it has 
been mentioned several times on the list.

When you boot up what messages do you get from the bridge you should see it 
setting up the cards?
