Not unless one has manually created a bridge. Trying on a machine without
a bridge, I saw no option to use one.
In addition, playing with this a bit more, I'm finding it to have poorer
graphics than VBox on a couple of Linux desktops (Lubuntu), and it also
seems that it doesn't see Mod4. I vaguely remember that being the case
over 6 years ago, and actually contributing a patch to the FreeBSD port
that fixed it. (Which was just a diff file to the BSD port Makefile).
I did try using spice, but that just gave me a black screen. Note that I
haven't put any serious effort into any of this--I'm mostly playing with it
as a platform for a few server type installs, however, it does seem that
the other two give the casual user a better out of the box experience.
