"virbr0 192.168.122.0" is the virtual bridge network created by F8 VM 
(virtual machine) implementation.
All guest machines hosted by the host machine will be part of this 
192.168.122.0 network.  I imagine
you installed some package from the 'Virtual Machine' group.  If you 
don't really need it, you can remove
the VM option and I think F8 would clean itself up.
