Yes it only changed a few days ago to old_net.

Fair enough. Can you perhaps look at the configuration's .ecc file 
yourself to see why it thinks CYGPKG_NET_BRIDGE is disabled. It could give 
a reason there and somehow the GUI config tool isn't grokking the reason 
it's off. If that's true, still let us know, as it would be useful to know 
if the config tool isn't reflecting the actual configuration.

Finally of course you can do something like:

grep -r CYGPKG_NET_BRIDGE whatever_install/include/pkgconf

to verify it's definitely not there.
