Not used this patch yet.  However I have configured the same approach 
on my Linux system.  I have put the physical nic and the virtual nic 
into one bridge.  This results in me being able to configure the 
networking on RPCEmu in the same way as I would on a hardware based 
system.  This allows ShareFS to work.
