You are right, neither vlan152 nor br2 show up. But also not br0 and  
br1, that ones which show up in virt-manager.

lshal just lists the physical interfaces eth0 and eth1, not vlan152.

unki at vmtest:~$ lshal | grep -iE eth0\|eth1\|vlan
   linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/class/net/eth1'  (string)
   net.interface = 'eth1'  (string)
   linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/class/net/eth0'  (string)
   net.interface = 'eth0'  (string)

And here, no bridge interfaces listed by lshal.

unki at vmtest:~$ lshal | grep -iE br0\|br1\|br2
unki at vmtest:~$

Looks like that what virt-manager displays in its dropdown box
   eth0 (Bridge br0)
   eth1 (Bridge br1)
gets looked up elsewhere by libvirt.


But for that specific problem - maybe its really the problem that HAL  
does not recognize the VLAN interface. Also restarting hald does not  
help.
