It seemed to be something similar:

I think I have it solved - The guide tells you you need to 
	# brctl addif pan0 eth0
but for me I also need to 
                # ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0
                # ifconfig pan0 192.168.1.55
                # ifconfig pan0 up
It was quite obvious once I realised how bridging must work!

I have it all woring but unrelatedly my box crashes in the bnep driver
when the device disconnects... I get this on the console :

Debug: sleeping function called from invalid context ad
include/asm/semaphore.h:119
in_atomic():1, irqs_disabled():0
 __night_sleep+
 sysfs_hash_and_remove
 br_sysfs_removeif
 br_del_if
 br_device_event
 notifier_call_chain
 unregister_netdevice+0x170/0x2ac
 unregister_netdev+0x18/0x30
 bnep_session+0x7ab/0x860 [bnep]
 schedule_tail+0x1e/0x70

 default_wake_function+0x0/0x20
 bnep_session+0x0/0x860 [bnep]
 kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0x14

I suspect it's a problem with the bnep module rather than anything
specific to the BlueZ stack..
