Trying to set up a bridge for KVM

[Leroy Tennison <leroy.tennison@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've used what I've found on the web and even copied a working config 
from a hypervisor at work running the same version of openSuSE (13.1) I 
use at home - nothing works at home.  The working config from the 
hypervisor (the only change is the IP address for home) is listed below, 
what am I doing wrong?  (Thanks for your help).

ifcfg-br0

   USERCONTROL='no'
   STARTMODE='auto'
   BOOTPROTO='static'
   BRIDGE='yes'
   BRIDGE_STP='off'
   BRIDGE_FORWARDDELAY='0'
   BRIDGE_PORTS='eth0'
   BRIDGE_PORTPRIORITIES='-'
   BRIDGE_PATHCOSTS='-'
   NETWORK=''
   NETMASK=''
   BROADCAST=''
   PREFIXLEN=''
   IPADDR='192.168.1.101/24'
   ETHTOOL_OPTIONS=''
   MTU=''
   NAME=''
   REMOTE_IPADDR=''

ifcfg-eth0

   BOOTPROTO='none'
   BROADCAST=''
   ETHTOOL_OPTIONS=''
   IPADDR=''
   MTU=''
   NAME='Intel Ethernet controller'
   NETMASK=''
   NETWORK=''
   REMOTE_IPADDR=''
   STARTMODE='auto'
   USERCONTROL='no'

I can't even ping the default gateway.  My configuration shows:

ip addr

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 brd 127.255.255.255 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast 
master br0 state UP qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:1e:8c:f1:68:94 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.1.6/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global eth0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::21e:8cff:fef1:6894/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
3: br0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP
    link/ether 00:1e:8c:f1:68:94 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.1.101/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global br0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::21e:8cff:fef1:6894/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

ip route

default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0  proto static
127.0.0.0/8 dev lo  scope link
192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.1.6
192.168.1.0/24 dev br0  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.1.101

I previous (and now current) configuration was DHCP which is where 
probably the 192.168.1.6/24 comes from (and the DHCP scope stops at node 
100).
