   Removing a Bridge   
   18 Dec 22 12:42:14   
   
   From: Doug@hyperspace.vogon.gov   
      
   My main system (and its backup / test equivalent) is set up with two   
   network cards, one facing the outside world and one the local network.   
   As of a week or so ago, the main system has a new processor, one capable   
   of handling virtualisation along with a lot of reserve power.  My test   
   machine does not have either so I could not test this there.   
      
   I tried setting up a virtual machine.  It pretty much worked ok but   
   after a while I decided there was no actual point to the experiment, at   
   that stage I noticed that the gateway from the internal network to the   
   external network no longer worked - necessitating a config change (IP   
   Address of gateway from "main" to "test") and running my backup machine   
   whenever something on the internal network needs access to the outside   
   world.   
   The network cards now call themselves br0 and br1 instead of eth0 and   
   eth1, "br" stands for "bridge".   
      
   At this point I removed all the xen / hypervisor / virtualisation   
   software again, leaving the system pretty much as it was originally.   
   Unfortunately the Bridge configuration is still there.  Any ideas how I   
   back that stuff out again?  I can still access the internal network -   
   and nfs serves over the internal network are still ok - but the IP   
   forwarding over the gateway is broken.   
   As a separate problem, IPV6 is not available.  This has absolutely   
   nothing to do with my testing, my ISP was taken over a couple of years   
   ago and IPV6 was pretty much the first (and so far, only) victim.
