The former is NOT correct (never assign an IP address to a network 
device connected to a bridge, just to the bridge itself). The latter 
looks correct, and (assuming DHCP works on eth0) should give you the 
same connectivity as before. This all assumes that eth0 is not a 
wireless card (which is impossible to tell these days as network devices 
can be arbitrarily renamed). 99% of the wireless card drivers are broken 
and don't work with the bridge in the linux kernel (or any other bridge).
