rebooted again and now it works.
Is one supposed to know this by magic? I can't be the only one who's
had this problem. I read the Release Notes every time I update the
system and can't recall seeing it anywhere.
Note that a standard install has no ifcfg-virbr0 config ... it's handled entirely by libvirt
Remove that file entirely and let libvirt handle setting up the NAT interface
If something puts it back then put NM_CONTROLLED=no in the file to prevent NM from using it.
