Hi, can someone tell me if these instructions still work with

to build a bridge?
They might, but resistance is futile, you might as well use
NetworkManager now before it becomes the only option.
I setup a bridge on my system with nmcli (since the GUI interface was
hopeless). I think these notes might be correct:
nmcli con show
nmcli con add ifname br0 type bridge con-name br0
nmcli con add type bridge-slave ifname eth0 master br0
nmcli con down "Wired connection 1"
nmcli con up br0
nmcli con show
nmcli con mod br0 ipv4.ignore-auto-dns yes
nmcli con mod br0 bridge.mac-address <mac of eth0 here>
nmcli con modify br0 bridge.stp no
You'd probably need different names for things here and there, but it does
seem to work. I can give virtual machines connections on the br0 bridge
and they correctly get IP addrs assigned by the DHCP server on my router.
