I have some mods to let you do bridging only on clusters of interfaces, but don't know when they will be ready for commit. In the meantime, if the above is a problem for you, the best approach would be to skip your "external" interface in the bridging loop. > For the internal network, I am going to be using a dual-port SMC card using > the de driver.
