Bug Description

When I had in these settings in nova.conf:
--network_manage=nova.network.manager.VlanManager
--flat_network_bridge=br100

I see this error in the nova_manage.log
Fail --bridge_interface is required to create a network interface.

While the settings below are incorrect, the error message is even more incorrect.
BUG:
There is no --bridge_interface parameter

Outcome:
This OpenStack beginner was confused and frustrated.

Also, if the nova.conf settings are:

--network_manage=nova.network.manager.FlatManager
Without --flat_network_bridge=br100

You see an error message starting with
--bridge parameter required or...

Bug:
There is no --bridge parameter (at least setting it didn't make a difference and it's not listed in the Diablo nova.conf reference). The rest of the error message is correct.

Outcome:
Confusion.

while using the VlanManager as the netwrok manager, enable or add the flag below in nova.conf file:
--vlan_interface=eth0
Then there doesn't arise any issue as mentioned. so its only a configuration problem.
