Disclaimer: I know nothing about bridging, sorry.

Why doesn't this file have:

## The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

##The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
dns-nameserver 8.8.8.8        ← in the eth0 interface stanza
dns-nameserver 8.8.4.4        ← ditto

##The bridge network interface to qemu virtual machine
#auto br1
iface br1 inet dhcp
bridge_ports br1
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0.0

## … and then nameserver lines if bridging requires them.

Cheers,
David.
