> Just to note that Fedora supports bridging. Just system-config-network that
> doesn't. To make a bridge:
> 
> 1. service network stop
> 2. Create a /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-br0 like any other device,
> but with TYPE=Bridge;
> 3. ln /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-br0
> /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-br0
> 4. ln /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-br0
> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0
> 5. Edit ifcfg-* files for other interfaces that will participate on the bridge,
> take out all address information (IPADDR, NETMASK, etc) and add BRIDGE=br0.
> 6. service network start
> 
> The bridge is shown in system-config-network, but you cant edit it.

And if you try to edit it, a traceback occurs.
