Okay, thnx!

Just a small question, I think I need to configure eth0 and eth1 to
manual? And not to DHCP?

Like this:
----------------------------------------
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet manual
----------------------------------------

The thing I don't understand then: if you execute a dhclient on br0,
how does br0 know the configuration of eth1? Because there's a WPA2
configuration on it. Will it use that settings too while bridging?
