I use
  (network-script /bin/true)

in my config and setup all the bridges by myself. And it works perfectly.

It's very easy to setup bridges using baselayout/openrc. And IMHO, it
has always been the cleanest way of doing things.

However, bridging and wireless don't go together very well.
AFAIK, any wireless LAN client is only allowed to use its own MAC
address. But sending packets with many different MAC address to the
network is a requirement for bridging to work.

You may have to switch to NAT or proper IP routing.

Regards,
  Sven
