Public bug reported: The 12.10 server documentation for Virtualiziation > libvirt -> virtual networking is a little confusing in regards to bridged networking.
The article says that you need to create a linux bridge and links to the netwokring -> bridging article. However, the libvirt and KVM packages in the 12.10 repository install a new bridge (virbr0) by default. The article does not mention this default bridge anywhere and does not describe why it is being installed and what it should be used for. Instead, the article says you need to create your own bridge. This is confusing. The documentation should reflect that the kvm package installs a bridge for you, where to find it's configuration and how to use it.
