For what you present, you do not seem to have only used bridge-nf patch,
that allows forwarded frames contents (layer 3 and more) to get injected
into Netfilter's framework in order to get filtered. Problem is this
kind of filtering "only" works for layer 3 protocols that Netfilter
supports. And Netfilter does not support EtherTalk. Thus, frames
containing EtherTalk are free to go through.

You should then consider use ebtables :

	http://ebtables.sourceforge.net/

ebtables is a patch that allows layer 2 filtering and sometimes a bit
more depending on layer 3 protocol. You'll be able to set up filtering
for your EtherTalk frames using its protocole number, based on source
and destination MACs.
