[Bridge] RH 9 problems iptbles + bridge

[Hakan Stensby]

Ah, so the bridge module shipping with rh kernel dont have support for iptables, 
that explains it all :D
and it was very stupid of me to think that the one thing that at least I would 
like to use with the bridge must be patched in :D

Shouldnt be a problem to build the kernel myself, last time it went very 
smoothly!

Thanks!
