I wouldn't expect anaconda todo this either - there's simply too many
complications with bridging to expect any tool to automatically get it
right. Ultimately networkmanager needs a capability optionally enable
sharing of a physical device between host & guest. It is getting much
closer to being ready for this type of capability with its recent
releases.
