well that description is a bit too generic to help. does the machine
doing the ping have an arp entry for the bridge ? can you see (using
tcpdump) the ARP and ping requests and replies on the client doing
the ping and on the interface of the bridge ?

it was my understanding that the problem lied in failure to
reply to ARP messages.
