Thats a basic princip of IP Network - the "bridge" acts as a router and since he knows the mac for all "his" attached devices he answerd with "his" mac adress. Otherwise no system that uses the bridge would connect to an "not" connected to the bridge/router. system mac address ->bridge/router mac address [arp table] -> connected system. if i want to talk to system x i had to tell the router he answers and route the "question" to system x and thats why system x has the mac of the router/bridge in your arp cache. And again dont change /etc/hostname until you really know what your doing !
