When creating a new machine under advanced options all I see on the drop down menu is the following:
- Virtual network default 'NAT' <- selected
- Host eth0 (Not bridged) <- greyed - not selectable
- Host eth1 (Not bridged) <- greyed - not selectable
- Host lo (Not bridged) <- greyed - not selectable
- Host virbr0 (Not bridged) <- greyed - not selectable
- Host vnet0 (Not bridged) <- greyed - not selectable
- Host vnet1 (Not bridged) <- greyed - not selectable
- Host vnet2 (Not bridged) <- greyed - not selectable
- Host vnet0 (Not bridged) <- greyed - not selectable
Specify shared device name <- black - selectable
If I select <Specify shared device name> then, and only then, a text box with the label 'Bridge name:' appears.
My memory is always suspect but I seem to recall that the defined bridge, br0' was explicitly listed as an available choice in a previous version of virt-manager and not obscured in this fashion.
What virt-manager version are you running? Mine is virt-manager-0.9.0-19.el6.x86_64 and it shows the bridge devices like Host device vnet0 (Bridge "br0") Host device vnet1 (Bridge "br1") and they are selectable. Maybe it is something different in your configuration.
