Yeah. I took a peek in /usr/share/doc/bridge-utils, and there's a way indeed
to configure a bridge directly in /etc/network/interfaces. Works nice.

However, a new problem (small, though) has arisen. The PC won't shutdown
properly. It does, if I issue 'ifdown br0' manually before 'shutdown -h
now'. I guess I have to add it to some shutdown script now. Where?
