While I have seen iptables rules like -i br0 -o br0 ACCEPT, I do not think |
| 7 |
they are necessary normally. I know my bridge device will move traffic |
| 8 |
from eth0 to eth1 and vice-versa without iptables (I don't think it's even |
| 9 |
in my kernel). |

That seems wrong to me, my bridge device (between the two GB eithernet |
| 14 |
ports on my MB) does indeed get an IP address and neither eth0/1 gets one. |
