Hi Hai,
Looking at the RFC, it doesn't appear that the MAC address is even
present in routed RFC2684 PDUs. It would seem to me that this makes
it impossible to add routed interfaces to a bridge.
See below,

5.1. LLC Encapsulation for Routed Protocols
In LLC Encapsulation, the protocol type of routed PDUs MUST be
identified by prefixing an IEEE 802.2 LLC header to each PDU. In
some cases, the LLC header MUST be followed by an IEEE 802.1a
SubNetwork Attachment Point (SNAP) header. In LLC Type 1 operation,
the LLC header MUST consist of three one octet fields:
+------+------+------+
| DSAP | SSAP | Ctrl |
+------+------+------+
In LLC Encapsulation for routed protocols, the Control field MUST be
set to 0x03, specifying a Unnumbered Information (UI) Command PDU.
The LLC header value 0xFE-FE-03 MUST be used to identify a routed PDU
in the ISO NLPID format (see [6] and Appendix B). For NLPID-formatted
routed PDUs, the content of the AAL5 CPCS-PDU Payload field MUST be
as follows:
Payload Format for Routed NLPID-formatted PDUs
+-------------------------------+
| LLC 0xFE-FE-03 |
+-------------------------------+
| NLPID (1 octet) |
+-------------------------------+
| . |
| PDU |
| (up to 2^16 - 4 octets) |
| . |
+-------------------------------+
