Change that line to this:

(network-script network-bridge-wrapper)

Then create the following custom script named, network-bridge-wrapper,
in the scripts folder:

#!/bin/bash

dir=$(dirname "$0")

"$dir/network-bridge" "$@" vifnum=0
"$dir/network-bridge" "$@" vifnum=1

I got this from a Novell support page when I was searching for a
solution to start multiple bridges.
