I agree. It would be very nice if i could have bridging without the need for
disabling "NetworkManager" and enabling "network". I use bridging for
my KVM
virtual machines on my laptop, but i also need be able to connect to wireless
as well when im not using bridging. here's a script i use to automate the
transition from NetworkManager to "bridging mode"
#!/usr/bin/sh
virsh net-destroy default
service NetworkManager stop
chkconfig NetworkManager off
service network restart
virsh net-start default
NOTES: as of this moment i havent yet tested if chkconfig is "session only" or
"until you change it back"
Honestly, this has been a problem for several years. Why has noone built this
into network manager yet? As a previous poster stated, more and more programs
are starting to depend on NetworkManager to get the link state. if NM cant cope
with bridging, this problem is going to become increasingly severe.
I too might be willing to sponsor this (Especially if network manager and make
bridging possible for wireless networks as well(by whatever means necessary))
