If I recall well, and the testings I have done now seem to say so, the bridge takes the MAC address of the interface with the lowest MAC, not the last one. I don't know what your problems are, but one thing I've seen used on machines that had a permanent card and a hot plug one, both atached to the same bridge interface, is that they assigned the lowest mac address of the hot plug card to the permanent one, that way no matter if you plugged or unplugged the hot plug devices, you allways had the same MAC on the bridge. You can do this via something like ifconfig eth0 hw ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX where the XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is the MAC you want to set to the permanent interface, in this case eth0 Hope this helps.
