Bridged Connection and KDE Network Manager

I am using plasma 5 as GUI and i am quite happy about it. but i am having issues creating bridged networks.
What i am doing:

  • i open the kde network manager applet

  • open the connection editor

  • choose "add" then under the "virtual" section choose "bridge"

  • the bridge creation window opens up and so far so good

  • i name the connection then the i give the interface the name "br1" and then from the "bridged connection section" i choose "Add" and again choose "ethernet"

right, here is where the problem pops out I am unable to set any of the parameters like "restrict to device" or the mac address. they are not greyed out but i am unable to edit any setting; I can only set the connection name and that's it.

I do this because i need to set up a working bridge for the virt-manager hypervisor which gives me another error anyway but i will post that in another section prior searching.

Back to the bridge issue... what am i doing wrong? i have followed the installation to the letter and infact everything appears to work correctly. I mean, internet is working, lan in working, wifi is working too. Any suggestion?

have a nice day
