Description of problem:

Since I upgraded to Fedora 21, NetworkManager is now offering
to manage virbr0.  In fact, if I disconnect from wireless,
then it falls back to "helpfully" connecting me to virbr0, which
is of course completely useless.

More seriously, I suspect that NM is actually breaking virbr0.
For some reason, virbr0-nic became disconnected from the virbr0
bridge, and that broke all libvirt networking, and I suspect
this happened about the time that NM decided to connect my
main network to virbr0.

I've no idea what we can do about this, or even which component
this belongs to.

On my machine I tried adding:
NM_CONTROLLED=no
to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-virbr0
although this has so far not made any difference (but
I haven't rebooted yet).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libvirt-1.2.9-4.fc21.x86_64
NetworkManager-0.9.10.0-13.git20140704.fc21.x86_64

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use Fedora 21 and libvirt and NM.

Any update on this? It's been close to 2 months. I just performed a

Note that the em1 issue you see in this log is
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=739482 and should be fixed in
an F21 update very soon.

If you experience this issue still, could you grab:

perhaps I need to give some more details. My laptop was first installed
with fedora18, then fedup to 20 and now fedup to 21. So the bridge was
probably created in the fedora 18 times. I don't have /etc/sysconfig
/network-scripts/ifcfg-virbr0, I'm not sure what and how is creating
that bridge interface on boot.

Perhaps a simple recreate of the bridge would fix the issue? How can I
do that?

libvirt's bridge devices are never listed (and shouldn't ever be

started, and NM shouldn't be touching them, attaching things to them, or
even displaying them (and it shouldn't take an "unmanaged-devices" line
in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf to make that happen).

If you notice that NM is doing something with your virbrX bridges, don't
try to fix it by creating an ifcfg file for that device, that will only
make matters worse, as NM will now have tacit permission to manage the
device, and even to create a new device with that name the next time the
system boots (which will result in libvirt being unable to start its
virtual network that uses that bridge).

Well, the way to fix it properly is for NM to stop messing with devices
that it has no business messing with :-). In the meantime, if adding the
"unmanaged-devices" line to NetworkManager.conf is the only workaround
to get you going, then definitely use it! (to be more precise - my
intent wasn't to say that you should never do that, but rather that you
shouldn't *have to* do that. Conversely, adding an ifcfg file for the
libvirt network's bridge actually won't help matters at all (will
actually make things even more broken), and so should never be done).

Have you tried removing that line with the most recent F21 updates? I
have updates and updates-testing enabled on my F21 machine; while "nmcli
list" does still show virbr0 and virbr0-nic as "connected" (implying
that it is still attempting to "manage" them at some level), it at least
hasn't messed with the IP address of virbr0, or disconnected virbr0-nic
from virbr0 or tried to set it ~IFF_UP.

Yes, NM will show vibr0 interfaces anyway, but the commands, which I
posted, should help you in case, when NM disconnects your virbr0
interface and then it keeps connecting it.

When virbr0 was in "connecting" state, I was not able to reach my
virtual machines until reboot. But then, I found net-destroy and net-
start commands and after their execution, I don't need to reboot to fix
network connection to my VMs.

I'm not running xen, or any other virtual hypervisor in the VM.

But I've had the constantly orbiting green ball from vibr0 as long as I

I just added "unmanaged-devices=vibr0" to
/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and restarted NetworkManager via
systemctl.  That made it stop.  Thank you Laine!

However, NM shouldn't have been managing vibr0 in the first place.

This fixed my issue in a clean install of Fedora release 22 (Twenty Two)
workstation. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-virbr0 does not exist.

This is especially problematic during the "offline" work when you don't
have other connections active: NM is announcing to other applications
that there are available network connections and then applications are
all making unsuccessful attempts to get network resources polluting the
