QUESTION:: How should /etc/network/interfaces be setup?? The following attempt just kills my internet connection!

--------- /etc/network/interfaces -------------

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system

# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface

auto lo iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet manual

auto br0

iface br0 inet static

    address 172.20.20.3
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    network 172.20.20.0
    broadcast 172.20.20.255
    gateway 172.20.20.1
    bridge_ports eth0
    bridge_fd 9
    bridge_hello 2
    bridge_maxage 12
    bridge_stp off

What am I doing wrong????
