Description of problem:
1. After creating an interface with "virsh iface-define", it is not in the list produced with "virsh iface-list --all".
2. The execution of the command "virsh iface-start br1" (br1 interface is obtained at the point 1) takes 10 minutes.
3. After restarting the machine, the interface does not start automatically even though I specified the parameter <start mode="onboot"/>. I have to manually run the command "virsh iface-start br1".

If I create the interface with virt-manager, I have the same problems and the process takes about 20 minutes.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 14
Linux Kernel 2.6.35.13-91.fc14.x86_64
libvirt 0.8.3
virsh 0.8.3
virt-manager 0.8.7
bridge-utils 1.2


How reproducible:
Just follow the steps below.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create the file bridgeInterfaceConfig.xml (change interface, ip and mac to correspond to your configuration)
  <interface type='bridge' name='br1'>
    <start mode="onboot"/>
    <protocol family='ipv4'>
      <ip address='192.168.1.15' prefix='24'/>
    </protocol>
    <bridge>
      <interface type='ethernet' name='eth2'>
        <mac address='00:1b:21:43:36:b0'/>
      </interface>
    </bridge>
  </interface>
2. launch "virsh iface-define bridgeInterfaceConfig.xml"
3. launch "virsh iface-list --all". br1 interface is not displayed.
4. launch "iface-start br1". this step take 10 minutes.
5. restart the computer and see that the br1 interface no longer exists.
6. you can do the same with virt-manager.
