What I mean is that the bridge is too smart - it works like a switch by 
sending the packets to the "port" they are supposed to be send to. I 
need a hub instead so that all hosts will receive all packages.

Ok, I didn`t mean these functions - I am using bridged mode but I am 
asking for a possibility for the bridge to act like a hub.
