Description Bronson 2020-08-10 10:05:42 UTC 
SUMMARY
Bridge support in KDE's network manager is broken. It would be useful to have this working for those of us who have a small home network/office to be able to see the status of the network adapter instead of the list being blank...

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open nm configuration
2. add new connection
3. the option to bridge is missing
4. you can create one via cmd "nmcli con add ifname br0 type bridge con-name br0"
5. this is not visible in the list either


EXPECTED RESULT
should show existing bridges
should be able to add a bridge

The option is hidden. Go to System Settings → Connections → Configuration (A button on the left at the bottom) and then check "Show virtual connections".
