No, i was meaning this bit:

   for i in $(ifquery --list --allow auto); do
        ports=$(ifquery $i | sed -n -e's/^bridge[_-]ports: //p')

Inside this is the actual adding of the interface to the bridge:

                                        brctl addif $i $port && ip link set dev $port up


$ /sbin/ifquery --list --allow auto
lo
eth0
br42

I have various tap interfaces for VMs which get added to br42 when
they appear.
