Don't waste your time. If it isn't simple enough to just do it don't
bother. You'd better disable/uninstall Network Manager service, enable
plain old networking and configure bridge in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/. I did this that way and I'm very happy
right now. Someday you'll see a big button labeled "configure bridged
networking" in Network Manager GUI.
