This is irrelevant for bridging.

Missing bits:
1. Kernel version?
2. Did you configure vlans on eth0 and eth1? 
3. Is it an MTU issue? do small packets get through but
   not largere ones.
4. What is overall configuration of bridging and ethernets?
   Did you assign IP address to bridge or the ethernet devices.
