[Bridge] br_add_bridge: Package not installed

[Small, Jim]

If you do an lsmod, is the bridge module getting loaded?  If not, is it
compiled into your kernel?  If not, you will need to rebuild your kernel
with bridging support.

In the kernel configuration menu, go to Networking Options, 802.1d Ethernet
Bridging.  Make sure this is Yes or M and then rebuild your kernel.

I am having a tough time simply getting the bridging to work with RedHat. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
