Subject: [PATCH] Keep a dash-led bridge comment out of whiptail's options

The bridge picker labels each entry with the bridge's comment from
/etc/network/interfaces. A comment beginning with a dash reached whiptail as an
option, the menu failed before it drew, and the failure took the Back branch - so
the wizard dropped straight back to the RAM step on every Next.
