This is the crucial part: eth0IP=$(ifconfig eth0 | sed -n '/inet addr:/s/[^:]*:\([0-9.]* \).*/\1/p') # add the bridge brctl addbr br0 && ifconfig br0 \${eth0IP} && brctl addif br0 eth0 && { ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 route add default gw \${FW1} dev br0 } This looks like the bridge device kind of "takes over" the IP address. I plan to play with this a bit when I get some time. It would be nice to be able to sync the Palm at work (where I use KVM for running XP) and not have to boot my laptop into XP to do it. I could just about get rid of the native XP boot altogether and do everything I need XP for in a VM if I can make this work. What confuses me is that on my Centos 5/Xen boxes, "eth0" has the regular IP address, there is another pseudo-device called "peth0" which is what is seen in virt-manager, and the bridge configuration appears to be much more complicated.
