I've heard about this before.. and I really would have no idea what
is causing it.
Are you familiar with tcpdump? Can you try running tcpdump on the
bridge, and check whether the packets you are sending through it
are
1. Arriving at one end of the bridge at all?
2. (if they arrive) leaving at the other end?
I would really suspect a driver problem here, but I've heard this
too many times with different cards now.
