centos6 (host) bridge is defined using /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts:

ifcfg-eth0:
   DEVICE="eth0"
   BRIDGE=br0
   NM_CONTROLLED="no"
   ONBOOT="yes"
   HWADDR=00:1E:67:14:E7:5D
   TYPE=Ethernet
   DNS1=10.16.168.10
   IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes
   IPV6INIT=no


ifcfg-br0
   DEVICE=br0
   NM_CONTROLLED=no
   BOOTPROTO=static
   ONBOOT=yes
   TYPE=Bridge
   IPADDR=10.16.168.3
   PREFIX=27
   GATEWAY=10.16.168.10
   DNS1=10.16.168.10
   DEFROUTE=yes
   IPV6INIT=no

10.16.168.3 is the host IP address on that network.

nics driver on OI was the default rtl8139 (rtls0), but i have changed to 
e1000g (the physical port, fwiw, is e1000g)

both types plumb OK on the OI VM, but no traffic seems to cross the bridge


thoughts?
