If I compare with my Fedora 33 configuration (libvirt 3.0.0 and
virt-manager 3.2.0) when you want bridged mode, you don't have to add a
network, but when you add a vnic or customize an existing vnic, in network
source you can put it on one of the existing virtual networks or you have
two additional options:
. Macvtap device
. Bridge device

So you should choose the last one
