virt-manager (libvirt) set up bridged network

I have googled and searched and can't find instructions on setting up a bridged network for use with virt-manager.  The instructions at

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KV … Networking

don't really seem to apply to starting vm's with virt-manager.  Does anyone have experience setting up a bridged network with libvirt on arch?

Please, if anyone has any guidance on where to go.  Bridged networking is not my strong suit by any means, as I can only get it working in other distro's with specific instructions.

Bump.  I am still without this.  I can do it on fedora and ubuntu.  Does no one use virt-manager on arch?

Re: virt-manager (libvirt) set up bridged network

In case anyone stumbles upon this in the future (as I have done):

Setting this up with virt-manager is pretty simple.

First, you need to create a bridge. You can do this manually or use most of the network management tools for this. I used systemd-networkd (just ignore the stuff about the container). You could also use netctl ore others.

After you created the bridge and added your default network device to it, open the network device of you vm (or create one if there is none) and switch the "Network source" to the bridge you just created. And with that you should be fine.

PS: I just saw that virt-manager seems to be capable of creating bridges by itself, right-click you hypervisor, go to "Details", "Network Interfaces" and create a new bridge.
