There are a set of initialization files or init files in Linux. You
will need to write a script. All the steps that you used to create the
bridge by hand is what will be stored in this script. The your script
will need to be called in runlevel 3 and runlevel 5. This is how Linux
systems startup. You may want to search on System V ( as in five )
startup files. Each distro puts their startup file in a different
directory. On Redhat systems it is in /etc/rc.d but I am not sure if
this is the same for Slackware.
I hope this helps,
