You can't do that :-(
If you need a bridge (like I do), AFAIK the only two solutions are:
- uninstall network manager and return to using /etc/network/interfaces
- add the missing code to network manager
I have tried various ways of "persuading" NM that it wants to control
my bridged interface instead of the physical one, and it really won't
play ball. I had wanted to try and keep NM on my laptop because it does
wireless better than my previous home-grown solutions. But I've had
to unmanage my wired NIC and now NM tries really hard to bring up the
wireless interface each time someone logs in.
Oh well. I suppose I should be glad I'm not alone. But it doesn't really
help you, does it.
