I did some tests on 3.2 (wheezy's kernel) and these were the results: With kernel 3.2 building the bridge your way (A), as soon as you attach a card to the bridge, the hw address changes to that of the card, and then it does work. If I force it with my method it sets the mac on the bridge and it is forced, but the net doesn't work, which means that at least on 3.2 with a e1000 if the bridge and the card don't have the same mac it won't work. However if I add another card to the bridge with the mac of the bridge it will work ok, sending traffic through any of the cards. So it seems bridge related rather than driver related. I should now test at my testing machine with kernel 3.11 and 3.2 and see if the results are similar or not.
