That's the gui I was using. According to my old notes I could
never figure out how to create a bridge with no attached physical
interface. These commands did what I wanted, but nothing I tried
with the connection editor would work:
nmcli con add ifname bifrost type bridge con-name bifrost
nmcli con modify bifrost bridge.stp no
nmcli con modify bifrost ipv4.method manual
nmcli con modify bifrost ipv4.address 192.168.2.99/24
nmcli con modify bifrost ipv4.gateway 192.168.2.1
nmcli con modify bifrost ipv4.never-default true
Don't remember specifically what it wouldn't let me do, but I
remember thinking it would be a hell of a lot more useful if
instead of disabling controls, it left them enabled and popped
up an error saying why it won't work.
