Answering my own question now.. Of course Fedora being the sensible and
advanced OS it is has the libvirt.org framework and virsh for managing
the various hypervisors and virtualization methods.  So I'm looking at
how to setup the bridging under all that but still am running into the
bridging support error as described below..
