Can anyone tell me why I am seeing these error message? Specifically, why is TYPE=Bridge giving Unknown connection type 'Bridge'?
I don't believe NetworkManager supports bridges. If you want to use TYPE=Bridge, you should disable NetworkManager and use the classic "network" service instead.
NetworkManager is utterly useless for server grade work, such as pair bonding and bridges. It may be helpful for wireless management or modem connections, but I find it safer to to rip it *out* on CentOS 4 and CentOS 5, and urge turning it off by whatever means are feasible for RHEL 6 or CentOS 6 when it comes out.
