Simplest way is to create two ifcfg files with the following syntax:

:ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
BRIDGE=breth0

:ifcfg-breth0
DEVICE=breth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
PEERDNS=yes
PEERROUTES=yes
TYPE=Bridge

That's pretty much it, tweak as necessary based on which real iface you 
want to use (ethX)
