The only thing I can find is that the new F12beta guest does not have 
'bridge' module loaded in kernel as compared with a working existing F11 
guest.  I tried loading the 'bridge' module but this did not make any 
difference after restarting the network.  I then tried rebooting the 
guest but then the 'bridge' module is not loaded again.  Is the 'bridge' 
module necessary?  I thought I had read where this was no longer 
necessary for guest bridging.
