Okay, let me explain one more time; I want to do this from the gui. (And yes, I have looked into the bridge-utils and many articles besides.)
Please focus your attention on this image from RedHat's tutorial. Notice that there is an on/off switch for the bridge. WHAT I WANT is for Linux Lite's nm-applet (the little gadget in the notification area which lets your manage networking) to show me the bridge and to allow me to enable and disable it like that. It's a missing piece of software!
