Remy,
bridging has been highly broken in 4.x from last summer to approx
the beginning of february. Most of the times the breakage came out
when using dummynet, but there were some nasty race conditions
related, among other things, to passing the ethernet header as a
pointer into a part of the mbuf which should not be in use.

I suggest upgrading to 4.3 or a recent -stable, this should
fix things (at least, the bugs that i knew of).

	cheers
	luigi
