That's because bridge(4) doesn't do Layer 2 filtering. Neither does ipfw (as
well it shouldn't). I don't know if there are any plans to add this
capability to FreeBSD's bridge, but I know that OpenBSD's bridge can do it.
See http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#Bridge and the man pages for
bridge(4) and brconfig(8).
