Umm... you can't apply filtering to a "true" bridge function because no routing is taking place. The only devices that should be configured would be all ethX's with the same ip address. > I saw a howto on briging on linux and it talks about a device br0. Is > this like imq?

It acts as if it is a bridge, but allows for addition of routing control and filtering.
