I'll have to try that when I get home.

I delete the default network definition that comes when
virtualization is installed because I always want to
use bridged networking, and don't want dnsmasq and wot-not
cluttering up my system. I never previously needed to
define any network, virt-manager always offered the
bridge interfaces.

The bifrost and br0 interfaces are the bridges I have existing
virtual machines on, and I was indeed able to edit the xml after
the initial VM install and create the interface connected to br0
that I wanted, so I have networking now in the new KVM.

I do have a rather complex network setup, you can find a
full description here if you are interested:

The host machine is running stock f17, no virt-preview repo
(it does have all the f17 updates applied).
