I thought you had to have the ebtables patch applied before the bridging
patch.  However, with ebtables being in the 2.5 and above kernels, I've
lost track of the order of the patches these days.  A quick look at
http://bridge.sourceforge.net/devel.html shows this "The code is updated
as part of the current kernels available at kernel.org."  A link to
ebtables is on the same page.  Are you experiencing some sort of problem?
