I have submitted two packages to sunsite:

bridge Tool/Documentation for using the bridging code in the 2.0.X Kernels
bridgex Another Tool/Documentation for using advanced bridging requiring
a kernel patch with protocol filtering.

I am using the bridgex package on our campus to do bridging.

Both packages are also part of the debian distribution and will be automatically setup on installation if
installed.
