My work-around: Create bridge in NetworkManager (or directly edit config files) and then add it to virt-manager. I always wondered what is this whole bridge management in virt-manager for.
Thank you for the suggestion. I looked at this, and interface creation using NetworkManager is quite different than in virt-manager. Also, I'm unsure what you mean by "add it to virt-manager". In virt-manager, I am only able to create a new interface, I can't find anything to allow adding an existing bridge.
I'll open a bug, as this problem renders virt-manager nearly unusable. (It's impossible to create network interfaces.)
I'm not entirely clear what you're trying to do here, but I'm still using http://www.linux-kvm.com/content/using-bridged-networking-virt-manager as my basic set of instructions for setting up a bridged config for KVM. If you just want your VMs to have internet access you don't need to do anything special at all - you only need to fiddle with networking configuration if you want them bridged rather than NAT'ed (so they appear on your local network as if they were 'real' machines connected to the router).
Thanks for your reply Adam.
Ah indeed, I should have thought of creating the bridge manually, as discussed in the link you posted. Following those instructions has helped, virt-manager sees the manually bridge as a shareable physical device.
Aside, I'm wondering if F20 should have already created a bridge for libvirt (e.g., should I need to create it myself?). I selected the 'Virtualization' group. Perhaps this is related to Chris' down-thread comment that not all required packages are in the group?
Thanks again!
