URL of the FAQ page with the missing information?
Oops! It's question 1.3.11, at
http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/FAQ#networking_is_unavailable_in_virt-manage...
Offhand, I suspect
this is in reference to the host (particularly since the guest need not
run Linux in the first place);
Good point. I *knew* someone on this list would have a better
understanding than me!

A snippet to add to the existing <domain> XML that you would see using
'virsh edit' (or with the virDomainDefineXML() API).
OK. What's <domain>? "virsh list" doesn't list anything, despite
the
fact that I still have one VM visible in the virt-manager GUI.
(FWIW, consider me a libvirt novice, despite trying out virt-manager
every year or so for the last 3 years or so. I've just never had much
luck with it. I finally got annoyed enough to dig into the docs a little
bit, which just got me more annoyed, so here I am.)
