I'm not using Fedora 10 but Pardus. Nevertheless, I had a similar problem
with bridged networking, I couldn't get it to work with Virtual Machine
Manager. Maybe the support was missing from my version.

Basically, what you need to do is:
1) Create a network bridge
2) Create an ifup script
3) when starting kvm, start it with tap networking and then use the script
(2) to add that tap adapter to the bridge (1).

I use qtemu svn as a graphic frontend, until things get easier with
Virt-Manager, with this bridged networking and virtio stuff.
