correct, the phrasing is bad. I meant that when we are doing the actual attach, should 
we implicitly choose not to create a bridge on vNic or SRIOV ?
Anyway for now the best and fastest approach I think is to give freedom of choice - the user will choose
if the network should be bridged or not during the attach.

please see my former post. I suggest we won't have this property on the logical network at all.
