Hi
Ive recreated the bridge and ethernet and below is that output with the journalctl
sudo nmcli connection add type bridge connection.id bridge ifname br0 bridge.stp no
sudo nmcli connection add type ethernet connection.id ether master bridge
sudo nmcli connection up bridge
sudo nmcli connection up ether
Connection 'bridge' (db55c902-c723-472f-b87a-00a0f0e19281) successfully added.
Connection 'ether' (d78510e1-23cc-4e10-ad40-5d1216f63069) successfully added.
Connection successfully activated (controller waiting for ports) (D-Bus active path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/38)
Error: Connection activation failed: Unknown error
Hint: use 'journalctl -xe NM_CONNECTION=d78510e1-23cc-4e10-ad40-5d1216f63069 + NM_DEVICE=enp88s0' to get more details.
