This is what most persons are suggesting… 

From what I have been able to test - the bridging does not seem very stable on the snapshot I have. 

I was unable to activate the bridge once It was created, I always got the "a DHCP server is activated on an interface - please deactivate before proceeding" kind of message… I have looked everywhere on every interface and no DHCP was activated in any place. 

I have even connected using SSH in terminal and ps auxwww to see if any persistent DHCP was Up… nothing

It looked like a bug… then I went to bed ! 


But this is probably something similar which have to be achieved to make It work… 
I am not expert enough to tell if there is another cleaner "IPv6" way to get the needed infos from WAN on another interface…
