Nothing has been removed in libvirt. Traditional bridges work just fine.
What failure did you see?
Hi Laine,
thank you for your answer. Well, it simply does not work:
this is my setup:

Attached is what I choose during creation of the vm. It's german, network source means
something like "name of the shared device".
I attached the host to a network hub to be able to sniff all packets. But I don't see
any packet from the guest. E.g. I choosed "dhclient" after booting a knoppix cd
in the guest, but no packet from the guest. Also using a windows 7 installation cd - no
packet from the guest. But I see packets from the host.
