Bug Description
Using Kubuntu 11.10
Virtual Machine Manager 0.9.0-1ubuntu3
Asus Zenbook
Enhancement request
By default there is no way in the GUI to set up a bridged network device. Under Connection Details, Network Interfaces there is the message "Libvirt connection does not support interface management".
I know there are some black-screen solutions to bridge interfaces but these seem to require setting a fixed IP address and writing into /etc/network/
It would be nice if there was a solution for bridging network adaptors that was as transparent and easy to use as that provided by Virtualbox or VMware Player. Going further than that, maybe one that would bridge whatever available network device is currently being used.
I would like to use KVM since my Zenbook needs a bleeding-edge kernel to work properly and both VMware and Virtualbox kernel modules crash the kernel when installed.
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
