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. The term <Specify shared device name> does not, in my mind, equate to the word 'bridge'. Given the text box label that appears only when one selects <Specify a shared device name> evidently indicates that this selection only expects a bridge one wonders why such a vague phrase is used instead of something like <Specify a bridge(d) device name>. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
