If bridge creation fails, check if the bridge module is loaded.

Code: [Select]

$ modprobe bridge
modprobe: FATAL: Module bridge not found in directory /lib/modules/5.11.1-artix1-1
$ modprobe br_netfilter
modprobe: FATAL: Module br_netfilter not found in directory /lib/modules/5.11.1-artix1-1

did you upgraded your kernel (via pacman -Syu)? If yes, you must reboot your computer! actually version of linux is 5.11.4, not 5.11.1

So same error? So make properly update

pacman -Syyu

Update your kernel to 5.11.4 and reboot computer.
I tested it on kernel Linux-zen and all works ok

I did a bunch of uninstalling and reinstalling and now I get slightly farther before it fails...

Code: [Select]

$ sudo ip link set wlan0 master br0
Error: Device does not allow enslaving to a bridge.
