What's the specific issue with NM managing the bridge?  Our goal is to
allow NM to manage *every* device without touching it if it's already
configured.  I know of one specific bug here with bridges that is a
problem (NM sets it "up" immediately), and we're working on fixing that.
If we fixed that, would it solve your issue?
