Bug Description

There's currently no (easy) way to figure out the form of content of `/etc/qemu/bridge.conf`. Some howtos (e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/QEMU#Bridged_networking_using_qemu-bridge-helper) mention `bridge.conf.sample` which is not available according to `apt-file` and the official wiki at wiki.qemu.org doesn't mention the file at all, it seems necessary, though, because specification of `-net nic -net bridge,br=bridge0` fails with `failed to get mtu of bridge `bridge0': No such device` (can't be investigated further because setup is completely unclear).
