You need to add the physical interface(s) to the bridge interface.
You can set this up to go automagically like this:
sauron.deepsoft.com% cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
# nVidia Corporation MCP77 Ethernet
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
HWADDR=00:19:66:D6:ED:93
ONBOOT=yes
BRIDGE=br0
sauron.deepsoft.com% cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0
DEVICE=br0
TYPE=Bridge
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=192.168.250.255
IPADDR=192.168.250.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.250.0
ONBOOT=yes
(change as needed to match your interaces and ipaddresses, etc.)
