I see I misread the shorewall requirement line on that page. What extra does full bridge functionaliy give? I don't completely understand how briding works, just how I made it work with shorewall and bering. The bering user guide said that bridging and shorewall don't work which is why I assumed that shorewall 2.0 had been the difference.
