I'm not sure where to set this up, but I have a bridged device br0 that I would like to have available in virt-manager/virsh.
Right now, I can edit the VM's xml interface element manually to use br0.
AFAIK, you're doing the right thing (as long as you're doing a "dump-xml" to get the XML description out and then a "define" to put the updated one in; directly modifying /etc/libvirt/qemu/* is bad form).
Personally, I use xmlstarlet [from shell scripts] or lxml [from python] to automate tweaking the XML host descriptions, but the details are your own call.
As a completely separate aside to this, in the new version of libvirt (either CVS or 0.4.5 whenever that is released) you will be able to do: virsh edit <domain|ID|UUID> virsh net-edit <network> virsh pool-edit <storage> These do the dumpxml/edit/define sequence of operations, and have sensible behaviour in the case of failure.
