Is there a way to bridge both the LAN and Wifi interfaces so that the

I'm using the default Network Manager and mostly use the laptops for
working and testing KVM with virtual hosts.

Fedora 18 will be the first release that works well with NetworkManager and bridged networking. However, I'd caution you that if you add both eth0 and wlan0 to a single bridged interface and connected your Ethernet cable, it's likely that your wifi would also be active some of the time. In that case, you will have created a network loop which will cause broadcast storms and probably an outage of the entire broadcast domain that you're connected to.

I'd strongly advise against such a configuration.
