I am proposing this patch for allowing the network bridging setup script
to choose an alternative network interface if it is determined that the
root is mounted using NFS, which is assumed to be done over the NIC
serving the default gw. In this case the prefix of the device is used to
find other devices, i.e., if eth0 is the default device an alternative
device may be an other ones starting with 'eth'.
