Hi Arnaud. This doesn't seem right to me. The purpose of a bridge is to connect several interfaces together. Your bridge is not bound to any interfaces, so it's effectively useless, unless there's some special use of bridges I'm not familiar with.

Although for a different use I setup a bridge that doesn't bind to any interfaces, it is meant to be used by qemu later where several tap interfaces will be connected. I suppose that now systemd-nspwan might also be able to make use of a similar setup, as it seems Arnaud is trying to use, I haven't tried it myself though (and it seems to be a recently added functionality). -- Mauro Santos
