Hi, this should be working upstream: bonding and vlan support was added
in february and is in version 0.5.4:

http://hg.et.redhat.com/virt/applications/virt-manager--devel?cs=6a155cfe437c

However this isn't in the virt-manager version in RHEL 5.2. If you'd like to
see this in RHEL please file a bug requesting this for 5.3.

Thanks,
Cole
