Hi,

I hacked on the network-bridge script.

It now works much better for me:
* we got rid of ifconfig
* it works for netdev != eth0
* arp on and off are symmetric as are ifdown and ifup
* ifup will be passed the ifcfg config file name if needed
  (the ifup may otherwise figure that the veth0 hardware is 
   NOT the same as the original ${netdev} and not use the same
   config -- this happens on SUSE. Charles Coffing tracked this
   one down.)

Please merge.
Let me know if you prefer a patch vs. the new script.
