Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where
appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

        Adding a description to a bridge interface.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

        Bridge interface failed to be created.

# ifup br1
Cannot find device "br1"
ifup: ignoring unknown interface br1=br1


This is a pretty critical bug as it can prevent access to a system with
a bridged network interface.
