You can give an interface a ip address and use the same interface in your bridge configuration. (I do not say that this is the best configuration) You can do very "funny" things with bridge configuration and ip configuration. At home I have one interface working as access point. This interface is also member of a bridge, the only member! I only use this bridge to filter mac adresses (ok, please no discussion about faking mac addresses) cheers guido
