virt-manager shows no network devices when bonding interfaces exist

[Jack Coulter]

Release: Intrepid
Package: virt-manager - 0.5.4-2ubuntu1

Expected:
When adding a network device to a guest, a list of installed devices is displayed under "Shared Physical Device"

Actual:
List is empty

Cause:

in /usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py in net_get_bonding_masters, the last character of what /sys/class/net/bonding_masters is stripped for some reason, this results in the result of the function simply being "bond" instead of "bond0" or whatever number should be at the end. This is what causes this bug, and the traceback is included in an attachment.

Fix:
See attached patch

Patch, this appears to fix it, simply removing the part that strips the last character, I am not sure if this would cause other problems though.

Apply this to /usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py

Not completely fixed.

My "brpxe" bridge bridged to eth3 shows up
My "br0" bridge bridged to bond0.13 shows as "non-bridged"

Thanks for reporting this issue.

Are you still able to reproduce this issue with a more recent version of virt-manager, such as the one in Karmic or Lucid?
