How to remove a bridged network interface in Red Hat Linux

So ICO 2.4 requires the Deployment Server machine to have interface br0 defined as a bridge connected to eth0. However, ICO 2.4.0.1 does NOT want br0, but wants eth0. I had already created br0 using the virsh command, so I had to look up how to remove it, and it's very simple once you find it:

virsh iface-unbridge br0

and that's it. It puts all of the configuration back on eth0 and you're in business.

I'm giving up on ICO 24 on RHEL 6.6

After installing the Deployment Service (which gives you the ds command), I tried to deploy an all-in-one ICO environment, and it failed very badly. So badly that multiple components stopped running and there was no recovering from it. So I'm now starting over with RHEL 6.5.
