ip_create_br \- create bridge and re-connect ethernet interface

.SH SYNOPSIS

.SY ip_create_br

.SH DESCRIPTION
This script expects a default single Ethernet interface setup, creates
a bridge named 'br0', and re-connects Ethernet interface to this bridge.
The scripts bails out gracefully in case 'br0' already exists. In not, it
determines the name of the Ethernet interface, accepting both old 'eth*' and
new 'en*' naming, and verifies that it is a single Ethernet configuration.
Than it creates a bridge device named 'br0' and re-connects the physical
Ethernet interface to the bridge, preserving all IP addresses and routes.
This script is part of setting up tap devices with \fBip_create_tap\fR(1)
but can be used independently.
The script should be started as normal user, but uses \fBsudo\fR(8) to
execute priviledged commands and might therefore ask for the user password.
