You can't always believe ifconfig - it's really down to the driver.
However, if you see packets that contain source MAC addresses other
than those of eth1 or eth0, coming out of both bridge interfaces, then
they must be in promisc mode.
It might be useful to run tcpdump/ethereal on the bridge, br0, itself to
check whether it is seeing packets sent by the laptop, and if so, if it
is seeing reply packets from the router.
Another useful tool is "brctl showmacs br0"
