Bridging Mode Protocol Independent?

My question to the great NetPro community... When a router is in bridging mode, does it work independent of the layer 2 protocols?

As long as you're only bridging different flavours of ethernet, then yes, as it's the same frame format regardless of whether its running 10BT, 100BT, 100FX etc

Where you're bridging to other frame types, eg token ring, it's more involved and there are complexities to getting it to work properly.
