System not accessible after Linux bridge creation by Kimchi on Ubuntu 15.10 and Opensuse Leap 42.1

[lcorreia]

Kimchi sucessfully creates a Linux bridge from eth0 to be used as the virtual network interface. But the Linux bridge and eth0 keep using same IP address and system is not accessible.

$ curl -u dev -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" "http://localhost:8010/plugins/kimchi/networks" -X POST -d '{"name": "neteth0", "connection":"bridge", "interface":"eth0"}' Enter host password for user 'dev': { "subnet":"192.168.122.0/24", "connection":"bridge", "state":"inactive", "name":"neteth0", "autostart":true, "in_use":false, "interface":"kbeth0", "dhcp":{ "start":"", "end":"" }, "vms":[], "persistent":true }

This remains a problem on Ubuntu 15.10. I was only able to get the bridge interface to work properly and access the system after a reboot. Kimchi should at least warn the user that they may need to reboot when creating a bridge.

Thanks!

edit: Using latest Kimchi release from git: 2.1.0-rc1.6.git27eb2ab

Same here with ubuntu 16.04

Apparently still an issue with upstream-provided 2.5.0 packages on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
