success !!
thank's to all who have responded and to guy for his patch. what i've
learned from it:
3.1-Release doesn't have ed or ep bridging support. so i upgraded to
stable.
3.1-Stable does have ed bridging support (plus a few others) but not ep.
then i applied guy's patches, and the bridging was going one way but not
the other. (ie the packets that arrived to the ep were still not
bridged). in fact the bridge code was not compiled within the ep driver,
because no BRIDGE was #defined. a #define "opt_bdg.h" at the begining of
if_ep.c did the trick.
 
so now i've got a bridging, firewalling and traffic shaping machine
running, and pleased with it. if anyone wants a complete patch to the
latest 3.1-stable if_ep.c, please tell me (it's basically guy's one plus
the #define "opt_bdg.h").

regards,
	Andres
