If you are have 4.1 system or latter, you are have just to start:
	sysctl -w net.link.ether.bridge_refresh=1
	sysctl -w net.link.ether.bridge=1

If you are have errors on that way, you should build kernel with BRIDGE 
option.

4.0-Release was just testing release, if I don't miss something. And bridge
options will be not supported on it.
