Technically neither side of a bridge actually requires an IP, but in 
m0n0wall's case an IP is probably required. simply because m0n0wall is 
designed as a firewall and/or router, not a switch.

You could just assign 10.254.254.254 (or whatever is unlikely to be used 
in your network) to m0n0wall, it probably won't hurt anything, although 
the internal NTP and and upgrade checking features won't work.
