That's precisely what I planned on doing - but I believe the network adapter needs to have an address first. Then you bridge pseudo adapters to it. It would all be fine but I can't take this initial step of assigning an IP address to the NIC in question.

no, no. the BRIDGE pseudodevice has the IP, network adapter(s) that are bridged to it don't have their own IP at all

If it helps, I show how to create a bridge as part of a bigger tutorial. I show ethX -> bond -> bridge, but you can drop the bond and go straight from ethX -> bridge.
