...and now comes the part where the above noted references show their true colors. IE, the content in the articles on those websites was not created by the people who own those websites. It was aggregated from other websites and put into a format that Google likes. And does it ever show on the Networking aspect of what they document. In short, ignore it.

The first issue is with the destruction of a perfectly network interface. The second issue is with the creation of a Bridge Interface that was already created as part of the installation process of QEMU / KVM.
