hi
i run here an similar setup with stable 3.8 on 2 dell 850 systems
i setup the bridge just with stp on both interfaces an decrease the
priority of the bridge on the master system one less the the priority on
the switch an 2 less at the slave.
i had since the first setup trouble but is gone if i diesable the
balance feature from carp
( maybe this feature together with an bridge setup is no really
functional or the is an bug. )
the link from the isp comes from an cisco catalyst switch with stp
please check your switch where you put the firewall together with the
uplink from isp.
i think it is necessary that this switch speak stp.

Second part of the test, I set up a bridgename.bridge0 file with
the 2 nics up
with STP, and I restart the soekris. Few seconds after the end of
the boot
(login prompt) immediate reboot of the soekris.
I stop it by, as soon as login prompt appears, to log in and put
down the
bridge.
In fact sometimes when there is a big storm the soekris reboots too.
Is the watchdog timer (sysctl kern.watchdog) set? I've seen Soekrises
reboot because of that when under high network load.
The reboot happens with kern.watchdog.auto=0 and with
kern.watchdog.auto=1 !!!
Nest tr y: I setup the two nics to be in 10bt mode and not in 100bt.
The box freezes, all the segment go down.
Near nothing comes in or out, from any other serveres of the segment.
answer to ssh was with a lag of few minutes (for control-C)
I just unplug the box, and stop putting down my network.
