All the documentation I have found for building virtual machines using virt-manager talks about first disabling the new Network Manager and enabling the old networking service. But all of that documentation is written against much older version of Fedora. Does Network Manager work with libvirt on Fedora 18?
I have found the Virtualization Administration Guide in the Fedora Draft Documentation, but it does not specifically installation. I am trying to use Fedora 18 to host several virtual machine servers for LAMP, IPA/Samba, etc. in a very small development network. I need access to the VM servers from the developers' hosts. This seems to be described in section 18.5.1, Routed mode of the guide, but the sections that follow only describe configuring Isolated mode.

I only have experience with Xen and libvirt on Fedora, but I guess that does not makes much difference when talking about interactions between libvirt and NetworkManager, right?
Well, this experience of mine is that, as soon as I install libvirt-daemon-config-network, a bridge called 'virbr0' is automatically created and all my guests can and actually use it by default.

Not sure. As I said, for having my Xen VMs connected to my local network and to the internet, I don't need to disable NetworkManager any longer (and that is true from Fedora 16, actually). For more complex stuff, you might need to tweak the settings a bit more, but I've never done anything more complex than what I said. :-)
