Re: [libvirt] virDomainNetGetActualBridgeName doesn't return the actual bridge

Hi,
calling virDomainNetGetActualBridgeName on a bridge with type
VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_NETWORK seems to return NULL in any case, because
iface->data.network.actual is NULL. Is that intented?
What is the best way to determine the bridge the interface is connected to?
For the virtual network case, you could do it in a round about way by getting
the network name from the domain <interface> block, then parsing the bridge
name from the equivalent of virsh net-dumpxml <netname>
But if we are providing an API like that it should probably work for virtual
networks (but then again I don't know the specific use case that API was meant
to address so it may be conceptually wrong).
