Close. I just blogged this yesterday :

.. pretty much word for word from a reply I sent here. Its easier to
bring the bridge up in your network init (in this case) and have it port
whatever physical ethernet device you want (nic, ppp link, wifi,
whatever).

The example is assuming Debian, but similar to CentOS and others. You'll
need to do a bit of digging to find the exact syntax for stuff in
network-scripts/ifcfg-*

Hope this helps.

Best,
