You need a kernel >=2.4.18 and the netfilter source patch (or ebfilter source patch if you want to filter by frame type 
or MAC).  There is an excellent HOWTO by Nils Radtke here:

I am interested in building a transparent bridge for the outside firewall of
my DMZ.

I have a pretty goodd understanding of how to use iptables, but I don't have
any experience with creating a transparent bridge.

Could someone show me a quick example script for building a transparent
bridge?  It would really help cement this for me...  hard to build something
when you don't know what its supposed to look like!  :0).
