virt-manager cannot select shared physical device when configuring network
I use puppet to keep my machines in sync with each other. Our default configuration has haldaemon and messagebus (dbus) off. I ran into a problem when I tried to create a new vm and there was no option to use the shared phyical device (the bridge)
In order for virt-manager to see the bridge, I needed to have haldaemon and messagebus turned on. Silly problem, but I couldn't find the answer without using strace myself...hope that helps someone.

thanks for this trick
I started up virt-manager with strace
strace -o /tmp/virt-manager.trace -f virt-manager
I went through the install to the point of networking and then killed the strace and looked at the trace file.
There was a connect near the end pointing to dbus that obviously was failing
6370 connect(14, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket"...}, 33) = 0
after that it was pretty simple to figure out that hal needed to be on to talk to dbus...
hope that helps.
thanks that solved my problem.
im curious to see how did you find that with strace
please could you add this here.
Had the same problem. Thanks for the tip!
Im very GRATEFULL, this has been irritating me for a long time,
my workaround has been to manipulate files by hand, works but not nice :-)
