Thanks for your reply Adam. Ah indeed, I should have thought of creating the bridge manually, as discussed in the link you posted. Following those instructions has helped, virt-manager sees the manually bridge as a shareable physical device. Aside, I'm wondering if F20 should have already created a bridge for libvirt (e.g., should I need to create it myself?). I selected the 'Virtualization' group. Perhaps this is related to Chris' down-thread comment that not all required packages are in the group? Thanks again!
