Do you want the full bridging functions (spanning tree etc)? We set up a 'bridging' firewall a couple of years ago using proxy-arp. This was so that we could just transparently insert the firewall between our LAN and the local University router. So far, its worked faultlessly - we get full filtering and NAT functionality with standard iptables kernel. But of course we dont get the full bridging capabilities (whatever they may be).
