Description
For network bridges consisting only of virtual (openvpn, qemu) or wlan interfaces not handled at boot, it can be desirable to create a bridge without any INTERFACE_COMPONENTS.
The bridge can then still be brought up with the IP and referred to in iptables etc.
The attached version of blfs/services/bridge just issues a warning when no INTERFACE_COMPONENTS are defined and skips the bits where the components are added to and removed from the bridge. I have tested the script both for bridges with and without INTERFACE_COMPONENTS, it seems to run fine.

No problem. However, the version I attached to the ticket has an error. Will update the attachment in a minute.

Just fixed the script. I wrongly remembered the check for a non-empty string to be [ -s .. ], while it is in fact [ -n ...].

I can do that with a couple of tweaks. Give me a day or two.
