OK, I see your IPTables entries.  I gave them a quick look, and they
seem fine; nothing that should impact bridging.

If you are feeling like debugging this, you can insert some rules into
each table to log activity on UDP ports 67 and 68 used by DHCP.  Then
you can check the packet counters to see just where the packets get lost.
-A INPUT -p udp -dport 67:68 -j LOG
-A OUTPUT -p udp -dport 67:68 -j LOG

It appears there is a patch applied to netfilter-bridge to fix a problem
with - you guessed it - bridging an ethernet to a wifi adapter.  I don't
know if your kernel is old enough to be affected by this.  See:
http://patchwork.netfilter.org/netfilter-devel/patch.pl?id=2649

Sorry, wish I could be more help.  I don't use bridging so I have no
particular knowledge there.
