Reopening this thread,
I confirm this is still broken in Final Fedora 20.
Worse, NetworkManager bridge is broken in that the bridge interface never gets the IP address and if libvirtd tries to bring up a VM instance it never gets network connectivity.
One additional bad thing (which I just fixed), was my original working bridge setup. libvirtd silently fails to autostart a KVM instance until I destroyed my bridge setup, recreated it via:
# nmcli connection add con-name Bridge type bridge ifname bridge0
# nmcli connection add con-name Slave type ethernet mac AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
This alone will not set/bind the IP on the bridge0 interface but on the actual interface, so while libvirt now autostarts the KVM VM instance, the VM has no external network connectivity as the bridge0 interface has no IP assigned to it...
I've encountered various problems with bridge networking and libvirtd/NetworkManager/virt-manager and now with systemd-networkd (which does bridging)...
What exactly *IS* our official setup for Bridging support??
We've failed hard in 19/20 on bridging and it's burnt me so much, I want to add a test case for Fedora 21 on this, where can I do this?
I've CC'd myself to : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1048351
Thanks,
