Yes. I wasn't claiming it was a *good* way to fix it. Just wondering
if it would work.

I have no idea whether it makes sense or not, not really knowing much
about this stuff myself. I tried it on my workstation. It's a good way
to kick yourself off the network. But it does work in the simplest
possible case, if you fix up routing afterwards. I don't know whether
bridges can be usefully used by VMs.
