No, that's not at all clear.  This bug report was originally filed
against 1.5-2ubuntu1, and the submitter reports there is no difference
in behavior between the two versions.  You should probably file a
separate bug report for your issue.

Manually downloading packages from the web and installing them is strongly contraindicated.  You are completely bypassing the established security mechanisms of signed packages and opening yourself up to a man-in-the-middle attack.  The appropriate way to do this is by running:
  sudo apt-get install bridge-utils/oneiric
to pull the version of the package from oneiric instead of from oneiric-updates.
