Why do I need to specify this long list of parameters for basic things? To be more precise, I expect something really simple like: nmcli tobridge ifcfg-eth0 nothing more, instead of the two complicated lines, because all configuration is already in ifcfg-eth0 and the bridge will be build from that. Same for reverse: nmcli tonormal br-eth0 It should also be an option at install time to choose bridge instead normal ethernet. As of now we have no option to do that in the graphical network configuration tool! So, I know how to do that but it's not easy for average user and that's a problem to be solved.
