I don't think that will help as he is trying to bridge not route.

Bridging is a way of replicating ethernet level frames from one ethernet
segment to another, thus encapsulating all protcols and traffic running
over a network, eg. TCP/IP, IPX, etc.

Routing works at a higher level, the protocol level, ie. routing TCP/IP
networks/subnets, etc between separate networks.

routed is just a daemon for transmitting and receiving RIP (Routing
Information Protocol) route announcements and entering them into the
kernel routing table.
