Thanks, selecting "Specify shared device name" worked

One more question: often I work with virtual machines with public ip
addresses and routed networking (not bridges!), how can I achieve it
with Arch and virt-manager?
If you want to create a completely separate subnet contained within the
host, and have all traffic to/from the outside routed via the host's IP
stack, define a libvirt network, setup the IP subnet you want for the
network, then in the final screen select "Forwarding to physical
network", Destination: "Any physical device", Mode: "Routed".
Once
you've started this network, it will appear in the list of possible
connections for a guest's network interfaces. Note that you will need to
teach the rest of the network to forward packets for this new subnet to
the host's physical ethernet IP (but if you're specifically asking for a
routed network, then you likely already know this (either that or I've
misunderstood your question) :-)
You can see more info about the possible types of networks here:

I've set Reply-To: in this message to libvirt-users(a)redhat.com. It
really is a more appropriate place for these questions, as the netcf
mailing list deals specifically with the netcf library, which isn't
involved in any of the things we're discussing here.
