I upgraded from 0.5.11-8 to 0.5.12~git20090406.46dc48-2, restarted 
libvirtd and can confirm - with the newer hal version, the vlan and 
bridge devices are also visible.



0.5.11 just listed:

unki at kuecken:~$ sudo virsh nodedev-list --cap net
net_00_24_21_20_dc_4d


unki at kuecken:~$ lshal | grep -E vlan\|br1
unki at kuecken:~$



0.5.12:


unki at kuecken:~$ sudo virsh nodedev-list --cap net
net_00_24_21_20_dc_4d
net_00_24_21_20_dc_4d_0
net_00_24_21_20_dc_4d_1
net_00_24_21_20_dc_4d_2
net_00_ff_55_5a_cb_de
net_computer_loopback


unki at kuecken:~$ lshal | grep -E vlan\|br1
   linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/class/net/vlan2'  (string)
   net.interface = 'vlan2'  (string)
   linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/class/net/br1'  (string)
   net.interface = 'br1'  (string)



What I noted - 0.5.12 also lists vnetX devices from a powered up guest 
which were not visible in the lenny version. Those vnetX devices now 
also show up in virt-manager. And as more guests are up, as longer the 
drop-down list of shared physical devices gets...

Cheers,
Andreas
