Did you set the interface to 'BOOTPROTO="none"' and the bridge
to
'BOOTPROTO="dhcp"'? When you traditional bridging, the bridge
takes the
IP, not the interface.
Also, there is/was a bug where the bridge name has to sort
alphabetically after the interface, so I got into the habit of using
'vbrX' as the bridge name.
If this doesn't help, please share you interface and bridge config files.
