Depends if the bridge has just the host part of the IP address wrong or
weather the network portion's wrong.  If the latter is the case then you
could configure a static route on the router to the subnet it's on, and
then set a static route to that router on your unix machine.

Also, if you've got access to a machine on that network then you could
login to it and configure a static arp entry to a non-live address, but
using the bridge's ethernet address.  Then you should be able to access
the bridge from it.
