I've just started using virt-manager and kvm. Apologies if the answer to this question can be found on the mailling list archive - I didn't find it easy to search. Package: virt-manager Version: 0.5.4-2ubuntu Architecture: amd64 Kernel: 2.6.27-7-server I've successfully created a VM (as root) to which I've managed to add a bridged ethernet interface. When I create a machine as a non-root user, the add hardware screen contains options to add a Storage Device, Input Device or Graphics Device. The option to add a Network Device (present as root) is missing. Is there any way to make the Network Device option appear (for non-root users)? Thanks, Chris.
