Hey Martyn,

Depends on the problem we are trying to solve :P

This patch fixes the issue with multiple bridges of different types in a simple way
(which is currently an issue for us).

The UUID method would be more "complete" and solve the issues with multiple bridges
of the same type but I think we can apply this one till we have an implementation
for it. What do you think?

Thanks!
