No, AIUI, it does not and would never do that out of the box: it
wouldn't really be appropriate for a package to go around screwing with
your network config to that extent. It is not safe to assume anyone
setting up 'virtualization' wants bridged networking; people who just
want to use virt-manager as a VirtualBox-alike are probably happy with
NATed networking.
