[libvirt-users] vnet device not appearing

Hello

I have a virtual server with 3 existing VMs running on it without issue.
 The host has 4 NICs installed; em1 for the host, em2 and em3 already in
use by other VMs.
I would like to dedicate em4 to my new VM however when I create the bridge
like I did for the others I do not get a vnet3 device show up in the list
as shown below.

I tried using the GUI and virsh to create the bridge. I ended up with this
config:
[root at cbcvm network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-em4
DEVICE=em4
HWADDR=d4:ae:52:a1:53:a7
ONBOOT=yes
BRIDGE=www_br0
[root at cbcvm network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-www_br0
DEVICE=www_br0
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Bridge
STP=on
DELAY=0
[root at cbcvm network-scripts]# virsh iface-list
Name                 State      MAC Address
--------------------------------------------
em1                  active     d4:ae:52:a1:53:a4
lo                   active     00:00:00:00:00:00
mon_br0              active     d4:ae:52:a1:53:a6
sbs_br0              active     d4:ae:52:a1:53:a5
www_br0              active     d4:ae:52:a1:53:a7


How to I make the expected vnet3 device become available to my VM?

Thanks!
