No it isn't. I think you have fundamentally misunderstood what NetworkManager is. You seem to be treating nm-connection-editor, a small GUI configuration tool for NetworkManager, as if it *was* NetworkManager. NetworkManager is a daemon for controlling network connections. nm- connection-editor is *one* configuration tool for it; there are many others, and you can also configure it by editing configuration files. NetworkManager, per se, supports KVM bridging fine. Refer to https://www.happyassassin.net/2014/07/23/bridged-networking-for-libvirt-with-networkmanager-2014-fedora-21/ , but note that the udev rule workaround documented there is not, I think, required with F21 final. Also note that, there, I tried to document the GUI way of doing it via GNOME Shell to demonstrate that it's possible; in practice, for sysadmins, I'd simply recommend doing it with ifcfg files, as described in 'Background and details'. Fundamentally all it needs is two ifcfg files, one for the bridge, one for the slave interface, with a few directives in each; in fact, the same configuration files will work for both network.service and NetworkManager. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
