Yes, the networking XML is a missing bit of the websites. The following
snippet illustrates all the important constructs:

<network>
  <name>default</name>
  <bridge name="virbr0" />
  <forward/>
  <ip address="192.168.122.1" netmask="255.255.255.0">
    <dhcp>
      <range start="192.168.122.2" end="192.168.122.254" />
    </dhcp>
  </ip>
</network>

Regards,
Dan.
