A bridge is pretty much transparent by definition.  In this case what you're
thinking of is "transparent firewall", or "bridging firewall", which normally
means your firewall is bridging at Layer2, but filtering the Layer2 traffic
based on Layer3 rules.

Jason could tell us what it will take to do transparent filtering, but we
need to beat on the bridging code for a while also to make sure it is solid.

I should be switching my 802.11 to a bridged network shortly. ;)
