from /etc/conf.d/net.example:

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Bridging (802.1d)
# For bridging support emerge net-misc/bridge-utils

# To add ports to bridge br0
#bridge_br0="eth0 eth1"
# or dynamically add them when the interface comes up
#bridge_add_eth0="br0"
#bridge_add_eth1="br0"

# You need to configure the ports to null values so dhcp does not get
started #config_eth0=( "null" )
#config_eth1=( "null" )

# Finally give the bridge an address - dhcp or a static IP
#config_br0=( "dhcp" ) # may not work when adding ports dynamically
#config_br0=( "192.168.0.1/24" )

# If any of the ports require extra configuration - for example
wireless or # ppp devices - we need to depend on them like so.
#RC_NEED_br0="net.eth0 net.eth1"

# Below is an example of configuring the bridge
# Consult "man brctl" for more details
#brctl_br0=( "setfd 0" "sethello 0" "stp off" )
