 Since Gigabit Ethernet is Ethernet, bridging should just work.
 Support was added in May to make bridging generic to Ethernet instead
 of interface dependent.  You're obviously not going to be able to bridge
 at wirespeed, but it should work.

 JFYI, even the author of the Intel driver doesn't really recommend them
 since he can't get docs to get decent performance out of them.
