+%description
+This package contains utilities for configuring the linux ethernet
+bridge. The linux ethernet bridge can be used for connecting multiple
+ethernet devices together. The connecting is fully transparent: hosts
+connected to one ethernet device see hosts connected to the other
+ethernet devices directly.
+
+Install bridge-utils if you want to use the linux ethernet bridge.

+%description -n bridge-utils-devel
+The bridge-utils-devel package contains the header and object files
+necessary for developing programs which use 'libbridge.a', the
+interface to the linux kernel ethernet bridge. If you are developing
+programs which need to configure the linux ethernet bridge, your
+system needs to have these standard header and object files available
+in order to create the executables.
+
+Install bridge-utils-devel if you are going to develop programs which
+will use the linux ethernet bridge interface library.
