Restarting the network indicates : Device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization. I thought it might be due to the fact I didn't have the "TYPE" in the ifcfg-eth0 file, but after adding that, I still get the error. I'm using the same hardware address that was in the original eth0 file. My bridge device starts fine, but I'll tailor it to your specs.
