NetworkManager and bridge support

Hi,

In Fedora 17, according to:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NMEnterpriseNetworking

we should have bridge support in NetworkManager.  But I can't see any 
reference other than this, and it appears to be not working.

1. There's nothing in the GUI
2. There's nothing in the cli
3. Having configured a bridge using ifcfg scripts, NetworkManager now 
says I'm offline, and the state of "p4p1" is "unmanaged"

Is there an additional package that needs to be installed to get this 
support working, like a plugin or something?

I need a bridge so my libvirt/qemu/kvm VM can be a host on my LAN.
